Iran has denied President Donald Trump’s claim that fresh peace talks with the United States were about to begin. Iranian officials said no negotiations were taking place and that no new meetings had been scheduled, directly contradicting Trump’s remarks.
The dispute followed Trump’s comments to reporters as he traveled back to Washington, where he indicated that new discussions with Iran were expected later Monday. Tehran quickly pushed back, rejecting the idea that any such diplomatic track was underway.
The disagreement comes amid heightened tensions after reports that the United States had called off an attack. In that context, Trump’s suggestion of planned talks appeared to signal a possible opening, but Iran’s response made clear that its government did not recognize any new round of engagement.
With both sides publicly offering different accounts, the episode highlights how uncertain US-Iran communication remains. For now, Iran’s position is that no peace talks are in progress, despite Trump’s assertion that negotiations were imminent.
