DUBAI (Reuters) -U.S. claims to be talking to Iran with a view to negotiations over its nuclear policy are untrue, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Thursday.
“America’s claim of a desire for diplomacy is nothing but deception and blatant contradiction; one cannot simultaneously bomb a country while engaging in diplomatic negotiations and speak of diplomacy,” he said on X after U.S. President Donald Trump’s Middle East Envoy Steve Witkoff said Washington was talking to Iran with a desire to negotiate.
