Hassan Ghashghavi, spokesperson for the National Security Committee of the Iranian Parliament, has rejected claims by US President Donald Trump that Tehran is seeking to resume negotiations with Washington.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, citing international media reports, Ghashghavi stated that the US President's assertions regarding Iran's alleged request for talks do not reflect reality.
Ghashghavi argued that such statements from the US administration are primarily calculated to suppress oil prices and manipulate global energy markets. He further advised the US leadership to seek more effective diplomatic strategies to resolve the ongoing tensions between the two nations.
The diplomatic friction between Tehran and Washington has remained a central issue in international relations for decades, characterized by cycles of sanctions, rhetoric, and intermittent attempts at dialogue. The current disagreement follows remarks made by US President Donald Trump on July 21, in which he suggested that Iran had expressed a desire for a new meeting with the United States. Iran's firm denial underscores the deep-seated mistrust and the complex geopolitical landscape that continues to define US-Iran relations.
