In official remarks, the ministry said that “there are no ongoing negotiations between Iran and the United States,” rejecting reports suggesting the existence of communication channels between the two sides.
Responding to statements by US President Donald Trump, Iran said the remarks “come within attempts to lower energy prices and buy time to implement military plans,” pointing to both economic and strategic dimensions.
The ministry also addressed regional de-escalation initiatives, stating that Iran’s response has been clear and that “Iran did not start the war,” reinforcing its official narrative regarding the current tensions.
As of publication, international outlets such as BBC have not independently confirmed the full context of these statements, meaning they remain official Iranian positions without external verification.
The developments come at a sensitive geopolitical moment, with rising concerns about regional stability and the potential impact on global energy markets.
Analysts highlight that linking political statements to energy prices underscores the economic dimension of the Crisis, especially amid ongoing volatility in oil markets.
