The Fars and Tasnim news agencies, close to the Revolutionary Guard, said no direct or indirect negotiations had taken place and portrayed Trump as backing down; the Foreign Ministry called his remarks an effort to lower energy prices and buy time, and parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf wrote that "No negotiations have been held with the US."

Why it matters

Tasnim acknowledged that mediators had been passing messages to Tehran, leaving room for an indirect channel while Iran publicly rejected Trump's account.
