A figure on the Iranian negotiation team, identified as Abu Salih of the Arab Desk, denied reports of a renewal of the signing of an agreement between Iran and the United States, saying no agreement exists to re-sign. The statement comes amid conflicting reports over the status of a diplomatic framework.
A figure described as part of the Iranian negotiation team, going by the name Abu Salih of the Arab Desk, has dismissed recent reports of a renewed signing of an agreement between Iran and the United States. In a statement carried on Telegram, the source said there is no agreement on the table to re-sign, contradicting unspecified reports to the contrary.
The denial is the latest in a series of conflicting signals over a potential US-Iranian memorandum of understanding (MOU). Earlier today, Iran's semi-official Fars News Agency denied an Al-Jazeera report of a symbolic signing ceremony expected later. Over the past week, Iranian officials and affiliated outlets have oscillated between denying any final agreement, rejecting President Trump's timeline for a deal, and claiming the text remains unpublished because the US does not understand Iran's terms.
The figure's identity — 'Abu Salih' is a pseudonym used by the source reporting on Arab-world affairs — means the statement is attributed to a single source with unclear direct access to the Iranian negotiating team. The denial has not been corroborated by other Iranian officials or state media.
