Iranian news outlet disputes Trump's stance of peace talks 'evolving'

Published June 3, 2026 Updated June 3, 2026 04:58pm

Iran’s Tasnim news agency has disputed US President Donald Trump’s stance that the talks between the two sides were “rapidly evolving”.

Tasnim‘s information indicates that over the past few days, Iran has given no response to the Americans regarding the text of the agreement, and due to the crimes of the Zionist regime in Lebanon, it has in practice also suspended the exchange of texts through intermediaries until Iran’s conditions regarding Lebanon are met,” the outlet said on X.

It added, “Therefore, Trump’s claim that Iran is confirming the matter is completely at odds with reality.”
