U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will stop collecting tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) starting Tuesday.

The move follows the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on Friday, which found the Trump administration's broad use of IEEPA to impose tariffs unlawful.

The CBP also notes that the suspension does not affect other tariffs currently in effect from the Trump administration.

Additionally, on Friday, following the Supreme Court's ruling, Trump announced a 10 percent import tariff on global goods for 150 days under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, to replace the tariffs deemed unlawful by the Supreme Court.

On Saturday, Trump posted on social media that he would raise the rate of the "global import tariff" on imported goods to the United States, which he announced the previous day, from 10 percent to 15 percent.

Iran has firmly dismissed speculations about a potential "interim agreement" with the United States, stating that such claims have no basis.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei addressed numerous rumors regarding the format and substance of ongoing negotiations between Tehran and Washington at a press conference on Monday. He underlined that none of the details circulating are confirmed by Iran, especially those regarding an interim agreement, which he says has "no basis".

Baghaei stressed that negotiations aimed at forcing one side to unilaterally accept the other's demands will not succeed, particularly with Iran.

Iran believes in the legitimacy of its views regarding nuclear-related issues and the lifting of sanctions, and will continue to advance this process if it can yield results, according to the spokesperson.

On reports from Omani sources suggesting that Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Larijani would travel to Oman on Tuesday to deliver a proposal from Tehran, Baghaei said he was not aware of such a trip and that the information required further verification.

Oman has been serving as a mediator between Iran and the U.S. in their latest talks.
