Iran denies US talks, warns against attacking infrastructure
Iran's Foreign Ministry denies holding talks with the United States, insisting its position on the Strait of Hormuz and conditions for ending the war remain unchanged. Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei stated messages from friendly countries about US requests for negotiations were received, but Iran warned of dire consequences for any attack on its vital infrastructure. This contradicts former US President Donald Trump's claim that American officials spoke with senior Iranian leaders and that Iran initiated talks. The situation remains tense with no direct or indirect contact confirmed.
