Iran's foreign ministry denies talks took place with US [View all]

Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has denied that Iran held talks with the US, saying that Tehran’s position on the Strait of Hormuz and conditions for ending the war have not changed.

In comments shared by state news agency IRNA, Baghaei said that “messages have been received from some friendly countries regarding the US’s request for negotiations to end the war”.

Iran responded by giving warnings about “the dire consequences of any attack on Iran’s vital infrastructure”, Baghaei said.

As we’ve been reporting, US President Trump earlier claimed that the US spoke with senior Iranian leaders, and that the Iranians reached out first.
