Iran’s Foreign Ministry has denied claims of holding any talks with the United States, insisting that its position on the Strait of Hormuz and conditions for ending the ongoing conflict remain unchanged.
Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said through state media that messages regarding U.S. negotiation requests had been received from friendly countries, but Iran responded by warning of “the dire consequences of any attack on its vital infrastructure.”
The statement was prompted by former U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent claims that American officials had engaged with senior Iranian leaders and suggested that Iran had made the first move in initiating talks.

Iran’s latest response underscores its hardline stance, rejecting both direct and indirect contact with the U.S. regarding conflict resolution and signaling that any attacks on its critical infrastructure would meet serious consequences.
