A source on Iran's negotiation team has denied reports that a final deal with the U.S. is ready to be signed in Geneva on Sunday, calling them 'completely false,' according to the Telegram receipt. The denial adds to a series of conflicting claims over the status of U.S.-Iran talks in recent days, as the desk previously reported similar denials from IRGC-affiliated Fars News.
A source on Iran's negotiation team has directly denied reports that a final deal text has been agreed and will be signed in Geneva on Sunday, calling the claims 'completely false.' The denial — received via a Telegram receipt to the desk — is the latest in a series of contradictory signals in recent days regarding the status of U.S.-Iran talks.
As The Zioneer reported on June 11 at 22:56, IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency, citing a source close to the negotiations team, also denied the reports, calling them false. That same evening, a source close to the team told Fars that Iran's high-level review process is not yet complete, making the venue and date baseless. Throughout the week, Iranian state media outlets including IRNA and Tasnim have oscillated between flat denials and ambiguous statements, while U.S. and Western media have reported that a deal is effectively closed.
The denial from the negotiation team source does not rule out the existence of a draft or framework that has not yet been approved by Tehran's supreme decision-making echelon. As The Zioneer reported in earlier bulletins, Iranian media have previously indicated that no final draft has been authorized, and a diplomat from a mediating country confirmed that a text has been agreed upon but pending final approval.
No verification of the source's identity or the Telegram receipt's origin is available at this time.
