At a press conference Monday morning, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghai denied reports claiming that Oman had conveyed official messages to Iran from the United States.
He said that while mediators may exchange messages and follow-up notes, such exchanges “do not begin or lead to any negotiation process between Iran and the United States.”
Iranian government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said on Sunday that Iran’s Foreign Ministry had received a message about resuming negotiations.
On June 13, while Washington and Tehran were in the process of nuclear negotiations, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked invasion of Iran. The Israeli attack sparked a 12-day war that left at least 1,064 people dead in the country, including military commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians.
The United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear facilities in a serious violation of international law.
In response, Iranian forces targeted strategic locations throughout the occupied territories, as well as Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, the largest US military base in West Asia.
On June 24, Iran successfully thwarted the invasion through successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the United States.
