DID Press: An Iranian source close to Tehran’s negotiating team has rejected a report by CNN claiming that a new round of negotiations between Iran and the United States has begun, saying Iran remains committed to its stated red lines and negotiating framework.
Speaking to Iranian state-affiliated media, the source dismissed reports of renewed talks during recent regional tensions and described the claim as inaccurate.
According to the source, Iran has not retreated from its declared negotiating positions and continues to pursue its core demands without modification. The source said the negotiating text previously presented by Tehran remains the basis of Iran’s position.
The source further argued that the Iranian negotiating team expects the United States to eventually accept the main principles contained in Tehran’s proposal.
Commenting on recent political pressure and military rhetoric, the source claimed these developments reflect disagreement over issues that Iran considers outside the agreed negotiating framework.
The source also said the absence of full agreement on Iran’s proposed text remains one of the main obstacles to reaching a final understanding between the two sides.
No immediate public response from U.S. officials regarding the claims was cited in the report.
