Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has refuted claims of Iran initiating a proposal for direct negotiations with the United States. Reports circulating in the media suggesting Iran sought direct talks have been labelled as “fabricated” by Baqaei. This denial comes amidst ongoing tensions between the two nations over Iran's nuclear program and regional policies. The statement aims to clarify Iran's position and counter what it deems as inaccurate reporting. No further details were provided regarding the origin of the alleged proposal. This dismissal indicates Iran is not currently pursuing a direct dialogue channel with Washington, despite international efforts to de-escalate tensions. The situation remains complex, with limited direct communication existing between the governments.
