Tehran/Washington: Iran has dismissed US President Donald Trump’s claim that Tehran and Washington are set to hold talks in Qatar, stating that no negotiations have been scheduled and that final discussions between the two sides have not yet begun.

Iranian officials said reports suggesting that a fresh round of talks is imminent are inaccurate, reiterating that there is currently no agreed timetable for negotiations with the United States.

Iran Denies Trump’s Remarks

The clarification came after Trump claimed that the US and Iran were preparing to hold talks in Qatar. However, Iranian authorities rejected the assertion, saying there are no planned meetings and no final agreement on restarting negotiations.

Officials maintained that while diplomatic channels remain open, no formal talks have been fixed at this stage.

Focus Remains on Future Negotiations

Iran stressed that any future negotiations would depend on mutual understanding and agreed conditions. It added that the process has not reached the stage where final negotiations can begin.

The latest exchange reflects continuing uncertainty over efforts to revive dialogue between Tehran and Washington amid longstanding differences over regional security and Iran’s nuclear programme.
