Iran denies US talks are happening, contradicting Trump's claim of imminent negotiations

Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said no talks with the United States are underway or imminent, directly rebutting Donald Trump's claim that comprehensive negotiations would resume. Iran's foreign minister was not scheduled to meet US officials. The denial comes amid a strained June 18 ceasefire, with Tehran pursuing a separate maritime corridor deal with Oman through the Strait of Hormuz.
