Iran says there are no talks currently underway with the United States and no plans for meetings, contradicting comments attributed to U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump had said talks were expected to occur that afternoon and cited that prospect as one reason to call off planned attacks. The Iranian statement therefore challenges the U.S. characterization of any immediate diplomatic engagement linked to the decision.
The reporting describes a recurring pattern in the past five months in which Trump announces intentions for “massive attacks” against Iran, then cancels them at the last minute. In this latest instance, Trump’s decision is presented as connected to the claim of impending talks. Iran’s denial suggests either no U.S.-Iran discussions are occurring or that any potential channel is not being coordinated in a way Iran recognizes or is participating in.
Overall, the accounts focus on the dispute over whether U.S.-Iran talks are actually happening and how that relates to the cancellation of attacks, with each side’s public statements differing.
