As far as this news service has been able to determine, there’s been no official confirmation from Tehran of any negotiations between the U.S. and Iran. In fact the opposite is the case. Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam has said there had been no talks between Washington or Tehran, after U.S. President Donald Trump signalled tentative progress in diplomatic efforts to end the war, Dawn reports this morning, citing AFP.
“We have also heard such details through the media, but according to my information—and contrary to Trump’s claims—so far no negotiations, direct or indirect, have taken place between the two countries,” said Ambassador Moghadam. He added that it was “natural that friendly countries are always engaged in consultations with both sides to end this illegitimate aggression.”
Trump claimed yesterday that U.S.-Iran negotiations were already ongoing. “We’re in negotiations right now...” he [https://x.com/RapidResponse47/status/2036512875871703071] said. “I can tell you, they’d like to make a deal—and who wouldn’t if you were there? Look, their navy’s gone, their air force is gone, their communications are gone... pretty much everything they have is gone.”
