Iran has denied direct talks with the US. In this regard, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Bakhshi said that there was no direct dialogue with the US, messages were conveyed through intermediaries.
He said that the proposals sent to Iran were mostly unrealistic, unreasonable, and excessive, it is welcome that regional countries are trying to make peace efforts. Ismail Bakhshi said that it is necessary to look at the situation in a realistic way.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that linking the Ukraine conflict to the US-Israel war against Iran is a destructive misconception, the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon will continue to perform his duties in Beirut. On the other hand, US President Donald Trump has warned the Iranian leadership that if it does not abandon its nuclear ambitions, it may have to abandon its country in the future.
In a statement, he said that Iran will eventually abandon its nuclear program and hand over the enriched material to the US. According to President Trump, Iran is currently very weak and will abandon nuclear weapons.
On the other hand, US President Donald Trump has claimed that the US is in direct and indirect talks with Iran. He told reporters, referring to the negotiations between Washington and Tehran, that "we are in direct and indirect talks with them". Trump further said that during the meetings, both sides are discussing very important issues.
He claimed that Iran has largely agreed to the US peace plan, but the US wants to make additional demands on Tehran. On February 28, the US and Israel began targeting targets in Iran. Tehran is also retaliating against Israeli territory and US military installations in the Middle East.
The tension around Iran has caused an effective blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for the supply of oil and liquefied natural gas from the Gulf to global markets, and has affected oil exports and production in the region. The blockade has led to an increase in fuel prices in most countries around the world.
