Iran has denied a claim by Donald Trump that talks with Tehran are imminent, highlighting a difference between the former US president’s account and the Iranian position. The denial was reported after Trump suggested that discussions could take place soon, although the available information does not specify the format, timing or subject of any proposed engagement.
Iran’s response indicates that it does not currently confirm the prospect of near-term talks as described by Trump. No details were provided about whether diplomatic contacts have occurred, whether any intermediaries are involved or what issues would be addressed.
The conflicting statements leave the status of possible negotiations unclear. Any progress would likely depend on further communication and confirmation from both sides, but there was no indication in the report of an agreed meeting or formal timetable.
