Iran Rules Out Immediate US Talks, Contradicts Trump's Claim

Iran has said it does not currently have plans to hold new negotiations with the United States, contradicting US President Donald Trump's claim that talks between the two countries could resume soon.
Iran's official news agency reported today that Tehran's delegation attending the United Nations General Assembly in New York is not planning to meet with US officials for negotiations.
The report came a day after Trump told newsmen that he expected discussions with Iran to restart soon. His comments suggested that Washington remained open to renewed diplomatic engagement despite ongoing tensions between the two countries.
However, Tehran's latest statement indicates that no immediate talks have been scheduled, highlighting the gap between the positions of the two sides.
Trump's remarks followed his rejection of an Iranian proposal concerning the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran had proposed reopening the strategically important waterway within seven days, but Trump rejected the offer.
The Strait of Hormuz is a key global shipping route, particularly for oil and gas supplies, making developments surrounding its status closely watched by international markets and governments.
