Iran’s state media and government officials dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump’s assertion of “productive talks” regarding tensions in the region, emphasizing that no direct or indirect dialogue exists between Tehran and Washington.
Fars News, citing an Iranian source, reported that “there is no direct contact with Trump, not even through intermediaries,” while noting that Trump allegedly “backed off after hearing that our targets would be all power plants in West Asia.”
Iran’s Foreign Ministry, speaking to Mehr News, stressed: “There is NO dialogue between Tehran and Washington. For all requests to reduce tensions, our response is clear: we are not the party that started this war, and all these requests should be referred to Washington.”
