Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported26m ago
Iran's Foreign Ministry has officially denied that any negotiations are taking place with the United States, contradicting claims made by US President Donald Trump. Esmaeil Baghaei, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson, stated on Monday that there are no ongoing talks between Tehran and Washington, nor are there any plans for future meetings.
To support the denial, Baghaei noted that all of Iran's designated negotiators remain inside the country. The only exception is Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who was reported to be visiting a religious site in Iraq at the time.
Despite the lack of direct bilateral dialogue, communication regarding the management of the Hormuz Strait continues to be handled through third-party mediation via Oman.
