Iran DENIES U.S. claims that negotiations between Washington and Tehran are underway
Senior Iranian officials, including parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei, categorically rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s assertion of “productive” talks, calling them fabricated attempts to manipulate oil markets and deflect from U.S.-Israeli military failures.
