Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan Reza Amiri Moghadam has said there had been no talks between Washington or Tehran, after US President Donald Trump signalled tentative progress in diplomatic efforts to end the war, AFP reports.

“We have also heard such details through the media, but according to my information — and contrary to Trump’s claims — so far no negotiations, direct or indirect, have taken place between the two countries,” said Ambassador Moghadam.

He added that it was “natural that friendly countries are always engaged in consultations with both sides to end this illegitimate aggression”.
