Iran Says No Direct Talks With US, Only Messages Through Mediators 

Iran has said it is not holding direct talks with the United States, with communication limited to messages exchanged through intermediaries.

Iranian officials said any contact with Washington is being conducted indirectly through mediators.

The remarks come amid heightened tensions between Iran and the US and ongoing international efforts to promote dialogue.

Tehran has maintained that any diplomatic engagement must respect Iran’s sovereignty and national interests.

International mediators continue efforts to reduce tensions and create conditions for renewed negotiations.

Analysts say the reliance on intermediaries highlights the deep mistrust between Tehran and Washington while keeping a limited channel for diplomacy open.
