Tehran — Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that Washington and Tehran are engaged in constructive discussions aimed at reaching a “complete and final resolution” to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
In an official statement, the Iranian foreign ministry said that no direct or indirect negotiations are currently taking place between Iran and the United States. The ministry described Trump’s remarks as an attempt to influence global energy prices and buy time for Washington’s military planning.
Earlier, President Trump stated that he had held “productive and constructive conversations” with Iran regarding a broader peace arrangement in the region. However, Iranian officials categorically denied the existence of any such dialogue.
The statement further suggested that Trump’s comments were made in the context of stabilizing international oil markets. Shortly after the U.S. president announced on his social media platform, Truth Social, that planned attacks on Iranian power plants and critical energy infrastructure would be postponed for five days, global oil prices fell significantly while stock markets showed gains.
Iran also acknowledged that several regional countries are attempting to mediate and reduce tensions between the two sides. However, Tehran maintained that it was not the party that initiated the conflict and therefore insisted that all requests for de-escalation should be directed toward Washington rather than Iran.
The development highlights the deep mistrust between the two countries and raises further uncertainty about the prospects of diplomatic engagement amid rising regional tensions.
