Iran rules out US talks, contradicting Trump

channelnewsasia.com —

Iran's state media reported Monday that its UN delegation has no plans to negotiate with the United States, contradicting President Donald Trump's expectation of renewed talks. The official IRNA news agency cited an unnamed source, stating Tehran's positions were already conveyed clearly via a Qatari mediator. This follows Trump's rejection of Iran's seven conditions, which include a ceasefire, sanctions relief, and an end to the naval blockade. The Strait of Hormuz, carrying about 20 percent of global oil and gas before the conflict, remains central to tensions. Indirect talks mediated by Qatar were possible, but Iran's delegation is set to return to Tehran on Tuesday.
