Iran's Larijani Denies Reports of Resumed Nuclear Talks With US — Calls Claims False

Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran's National Security Council and the country's most senior surviving official, publicly refuted US media reports claiming he had made a fresh push to resume nuclear negotiations with Washington. The denial directly contradicts President Trump's statements that Iran's new leadership wants to talk and that he has agreed to talk. The statement signals Tehran's continued rejection of diplomatic off-ramps while hostilities remain ongoing.
