Multiple Iranian officials denied negotiations claims of negotiations with the United States to end the ongoing war.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told the India Today television channel that there were no talks between the two countries on Wednesday (March 25) via ABC News.
“There is no talks or negotiations between Iran and the United States,” and there have “not been such negotiations for the past 25 days of the illegal war against Iran,” Baghaei said. “No one can trust U.S. diplomacy.”
“Our position is very clear,” he added. “Our brave forces are focused on defending Iran’s territory and sovereignty.”
Ebrahim Zolfaqari, a spokesman for the Iranian military, also claimed that the U.S. was negotiating with itself.
“The strategic power you boasted of has turned into a strategic defeat. The claimant of global superpower status, if it could have escaped this predicament, it would have done so by now,” Zolfaqar said in a video statement obtained by ABC News.
“Do not call your defeat an agreement,” he added. “Has the level of your internal discord reached the point where you are negotiating with yourselves?”
“There will be neither any sign of your investments in the region, nor will you see previous energy and oil prices, until you understand this: stability in the region is guaranteed by the powerful hand of our armed forces,” Zolfaqari continued.
“Stability comes through power. We state explicitly: Until such time as it is our will, no situation will return to its previous state. That will arise only when the very idea of taking action against the Iranian nation is completely erased from your corrupt minds,” he added.
President Donald Trump claimed that Iranian officials were participating in negotiations and gave the U.S. a “big present” related to the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for trade along the Persian Gulf that Iran has attempted to blockade in response to ‘Operation Epic Fury.’
“They’re going to make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing. Actually, they gave us a present, and the present arrived today. It was a very big present, worth a tremendous amount of money, and I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize,” Trump said via ABC News.
At least 290 troops have been wounded since ‘Operation Epic Fury’ was launched on February 28.
