Iran Denies US Nuclear Deal Reports, Calls Them Inaccurate
Reports circulating in Western media outlets claiming an interim agreement between Iran and the U.S. to extend a ceasefire and discuss Tehran’s nuclear program have been officially denied by an Iranian negotiating team member. This individual stated that the purported memorandum of understanding has not yet been finalized. Should an agreement be reached, Iran intends to notify mediator Pakistan and the broader public. The original reports, originating from Axios and citing anonymous U.S. officials, suggested a 60-day framework that included provisions for the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of naval blockades.
