U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Monday, March 31 interview with the New York Post that Iranian Parliament Speaker Calibaf is among Iranian officials communicating with the U.S. to end the ongoing conflict.

On Sunday, Trump told the Financial Times Calibaf had authorized oil tankers to transit the Strait of Hormuz — a move Trump interpreted as a sign Calibaf is willing to make concessions for a war-ending deal.

Per the Wall Street Journal, Calibaf is one of two Iranian officials temporarily removed from the U.S. and Israel’s “death list.”
