Iran and U.S. Officials Exchange Conflicting Statements Amid Ongoing Conflict

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi criticized U.S. President Donald Trump, accusing the U.S. of undermining diplomacy amid ongoing conflict and stating Iran sees no reason to negotiate, as talks were ongoing when U.S. attacks began. Araghchi denied recent contact with U.S. officials, while Trump claimed Iran desires a deal but is unwilling to negotiate under current conditions. These conflicting statements underscore deep divisions as military tensions persist and diplomatic efforts remain uncertain.
