Iran has rejected reports that a final agreement with the United States has been reached, saying negotiations are still underway and no final decision has been made.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei dismissed claims of a completed deal as "mere speculation," emphasizing that Tehran remains committed to diplomacy but will not compromise on its national interests.
The remarks came after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a "great settlement" had been achieved and suggested an agreement could be signed in the coming days.
Baghaei responded by accusing Washington of repeatedly changing its positions during negotiations, saying such actions have complicated the diplomatic process.
He reiterated that Iran's red lines, including its nuclear program and the security of the Strait of Hormuz, remain non-negotiable.
Meanwhile, Pakistan and Qatar continue to play an active mediation role, working to bring both sides closer to a diplomatic breakthrough.
Global markets reacted to the conflicting statements, with oil prices initially falling on optimism over a possible deal before stabilizing as uncertainty returned.
Analysts say negotiations remain delicate, with important differences still to be resolved despite continued diplomatic engagement.
As talks continue, the world is watching closely to see whether ongoing mediation efforts can produce an agreement that helps reduce tensions and promote stability in the region.
