Iran Says No Talks Are Under Way With U.S. After Trump Calls Off Attacks

Iran’s government says it is not holding direct talks with the United States, after Donald Trump said he had called off attacks and indicated discussions with Tehran might be progressing. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson said that while there are no negotiations ongoing, intermediaries can pass messages between the sides. Trump, speaking to reporters, framed the pause as linked to “good and productive” contacts and said the U.S. would decide on next steps based on whether progress continues. The conflicting accounts raise uncertainty about whether a ceasefire track is real.
