TEHRAN, July 8 (Xinhua) — Iran has not requested any meetings with the United States, the Islamic Republic's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Tuesday, as quoted by the Tasnim news agency.
This is how the diplomat responded to the words of US President Donald Trump, who said the day before that Iran had asked for a meeting.
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said the United States was ready to negotiate with Iran. “We have a meeting scheduled with Iran, and they want to talk,” he said. “They have requested a meeting, and I am going to attend. If we can put something on paper, that would be good,” the president added.
From April 12 to May 23, Iran and the United States held five rounds of indirect talks on Tehran's nuclear program and the lifting of American sanctions. They were mediated by Oman.
Two days before the sixth round, scheduled for June 15 in the Omani capital Muscat, Israel launched massive airstrikes on a number of Iranian sites, including nuclear and military facilities, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists and scores of civilians. Tehran responded with a series of missile and drone strikes on Israel.
On June 22, the United States struck three Iranian nuclear facilities: Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. Iran later attacked the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
On June 24, after 12 days of fighting, Iran and Israel reached a ceasefire agreement. –0–
