Iran has firmly denied holding any form of negotiations with the United States, directly contradicting claims by President Donald Trump that both sides had engaged in “very good and productive” discussions.
The denial came shortly after Trump announced a pause in planned strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure, citing progress in talks aimed at easing tensions in the Middle East.
The move had initially suggested a possible diplomatic opening in what has been a rapidly escalating conflict.
However, Iran’s state broadcaster, Press TV, was quick to push back, insisting that no negotiations whether direct or indirect had taken place.

A senior Iranian security official dismissed the US position entirely, describing it as a deliberate attempt to shape perception.
According to the official, claims of dialogue amount to “psychological warfare” and would do little to change realities on the ground, particularly around the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which remains central to the standoff.
Meanwhile, the Iranian side suggested that Washington’s shift in tone may have been influenced by mounting pressure, both militarily and economically, rather than any meaningful diplomatic engagement.
The starkly different accounts from both capitals have, in effect, muddied the waters. While Washington speaks of progress, Tehran insists no such process exists leaving observers to question whether diplomacy is truly underway or merely being projected.
