Iran again denies planned US meeting

Sources close to Iran's Supreme National Security Council have told the Fars News Agency that "no negotiations with the U.S. are planned." This latest denial specifically addresses the travel of Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, stating his trip is completely independent of the U.S. delegation's plans. The statement reinforces a consistent line from Tehran, which has repeatedly denied any scheduled direct talks with Washington despite ongoing diplomatic activity in the region. The U.S. has dispatched a delegation to Pakistan in an effort to restart negotiations over the Strait of Hormuz crisis.
