Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected as “incorrect” the report by a Kuwaiti newspaper on recent contacts between Tehran and Washington and also condemned President Trump's threats of renewed attacks if Iran resumed nuclear enrichment.
“It is incorrect. We deny it. There has been no contact,” he said when asked by news media after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
Araghchi made the statement with regards to a report by the Kuwait-based daily Al-Jarida saying Iran and the United States have reportedly been in direct contact and are expected to resume their stalled talks which were discontinued after the U.S. joined Israel’s war against the Islamic Republic last June.
Quoting unnamed sources in Iran, the Kuwaiti publication said the suspended talks between Araghchi and US Special Envoy to Middle East Steve Witkoff have gained a new momentum following a series of overtures regarding possible resumption of the nuclear negotiations.
Araghchi earlier in a post on X, rejected allegations by the President Trump that Iran has been building nuclear weapons, in a bid to justify attacking Iran’s civilian nuclear centers under UN verification.
"If POTUS (President of the United States) was to glance at the minutes of those talks—recorded by our interlocutor—he would see just how close we were to celebrating a new and historic Iran nuclear deal," he added.
The unconfirmed report on possible talks between Iran and the US emerged as the pre-2015 UN nuclear sanctions were reimposed against Tehran in September after France, Germany and the UK referred their dispute with Iran to the Security Council.
The Iranian lawmakers are demanding the Foreign Ministry lower Tehran’s diplomatic relations with the E3 saying their move against Iran was meant to secure the U.S. support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.
