Iran says Trump's statements on Tehran requesting ceasefire are false and baseless - Reuters

Iran has denied claims by President Trump that Tehran requested a ceasefire, calling his statements "false and baseless." Trump had publicly asserted that Iran was seeking to negotiate a ceasefire deal, marking a potential shift in his administration's posture toward the Iranian government. The denial underscores the deep mistrust between Washington and Tehran and suggests that any ceasefire talks, if they exist, are not being acknowledged publicly by the Iranian side. This tit-for-tat accusation highlights the fraught diplomatic landscape as the Trump administration navigates Middle East tensions involving Iran. The competing narratives complicate efforts to assess whether any genuine diplomatic channel or negotiation framework currently exists between the two nations.
