Iran Refutes Allegations of Seeking Dialogue Amid Trump’s Unsupported Assertions
Iran's Foreign Ministry has strongly refuted claims made by Trump that Tehran was seeking negotiations, accusing Washington of creating false narratives to distract from its shortcomings.
The spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, Esmaeil Baqaei, announced on Tuesday that a request for a meeting had not been made to the United States.
He dismissed Trump’s statements as a last-ditch effort to exude strength amidst Washington’s waning credibility.
Baqaei stated that no request for a meeting has been initiated with the United States from their side.
On Monday, Trump asserted during discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Washington had scheduled a date for negotiations with Iran, and that Iranian officials were reportedly enthusiastic to engage in talks.
Trump reiterated baseless claims regarding Iran’s nuclear initiatives.
He asserted that he believes they wish to engage in discussions with the aim of achieving peace.
Trump escalated his rhetoric, stating that Iran’s nuclear program had been entirely dismantled, with the International Atomic Energy Agency verifying the obliteration of a purported target site.
Trump expressed a desire for the conflict between Israel and Iran to conclude, stating, “We will have a meeting with Iran and see what happens.”
Media outlets have reported that Steve Witkoff, serving as Trump’s regional envoy, announced that a meeting with Iranian officials is set to be scheduled soon, potentially taking place as early as next week.
