AIIran does not seek to resume negotiations with the United States to resolve disputes, Iranian parliamentary National Security Committee spokesman Hassan Qashqavi said, rejecting statements by US President Donald Trump on the matter.
Qashqavi wrote on X: "Trump's claim that Iran requested negotiations has no basis in truth."
He added that the US president "should look for better ways out of the predicament he is stuck in," noting that "repeated lies no longer provide even short-term comfort in the markets," in reference to the impact of US statements on oil markets.
Trump had announced on Tuesday that Iran was seeking a new meeting with the United States, but that Washington was not currently interested in resuming talks "until Tehran is genuinely ready."
