Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf on Monday dismissed claims of negotiations with the United States, calling them “fake news” aimed at manipulating financial and oil markets and deflecting from what he described as a strategic setback for the US and Israel.
“No negotiations have been held with the US, and fakenews is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped," Ghalibaf said in a post on X.
