Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has declared that no direct negotiations have occurred with the U.S., even as tensions simmer over Tehran's nuclear program. Speaking at Iran's National Security Commission, Araghchi shut down comparisons to past deals like Libya's 2003 disarmament-for-normalization pact, calling them "dreams" 🌙💤.
The remarks come weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened "unprecedented military strikes" on Iran in a March NBC interview. While Trump reportedly sent a letter proposing talks via the UAE, Iran has rejected direct diplomacy—leaving the door open for indirect negotiations through intermediaries 🕊️.
Analysts say the standoff resembles a geopolitical chess match ♟️: Iran seeks concessions from Washington, while the U.S. pushes for nuclear transparency. With both sides posturing, indirect talks could be the safest path forward to avoid escalation.
