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 to Islamabad, Pakistan, where speculation about potential indirect talks with the U.S. has been high. The statement is a direct rebuttal to recent reports and comments from U.S. officials suggesting diplomatic engagement was imminent. It underscores the persistent diplomatic deadlock between the two nations despite ongoing regional tensions.
