Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran has not yet received any communication from Washington. When asked about any messages from the US, Pezeshkian responded, "No, we have not received a message so far."
Likewise, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi mentioned that no direct message has been sent or received from Trump regarding negotiations with Iran.
Araghchi stated, "Dialogue with Europe is ongoing, and we are waiting for the positions of the other side." He added that if Iran chooses to engage in negotiations, it must see genuine commitment from Europe, not just their words.
In a recent interview for Sky News, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressed his willingness to listen to US President Trump but emphasized that Iran would need much more than just talk to be persuaded to engage in negotiations.
