Iran Issues Official Denial on US Talks Report
On July 11, Iran formally denied widespread media reports suggesting that Tehran and Washington would engage in a new round of negotiations next week. The statement was issued through the Fars News Agency, addressing growing international speculation.
Source Close to Negotiations Speaks Out
A knowledgeable source with access to Iran's negotiation team clarified that several key points circulating in recent reports are inaccurate:
- Claims that "preparations for Islamabad talks have been completed" are false
- Reports about "technical-level meetings continuing next week" lack factual basis
- Related media coverage has "no grounding in reality"
Official Channels Remain Sole Reliable Source
The source emphasized that should there be any actual developments or changes in the US-Iran negotiation process, the Iranian government will make announcements exclusively through official channels. This indicates:
Foreign media reports on this matter hold no reference value, and international observers should await formal statements from Iranian authorities rather than relying on unverified claims.
This position highlights Iran's tight control over information release regarding sensitive diplomatic matters and suggests that current negotiations may still be at a stalemate or preparatory stage, not yet ready for a new formal meeting.
