Iran's Foreign Ministry issued a statement saying that the country's supreme authorities will discuss the details of any potential understanding and announce Tehran's position at an appropriate time. The statement pushes back against President Trump's characterization of the talks, as The Zioneer previously reported conflicting signals over a potential US-Iran accord.
Iran's Foreign Ministry issued a statement this evening pushing back against President Trump's characterization of a potential US-Iran understanding. The ministry said that the supreme authorities of the country — the Supreme Leader and the Supreme National Security Council — will discuss the details of any possible understanding and announce Tehran's official position at the appropriate time.
The statement follows a day of conflicting signals. As The Zioneer reported earlier this evening (21:27 Jerusalem), Iran issued a formal denial that it had approved a memorandum of understanding with the United States, directly contradicting Trump's claim. Subsequently, Iran's Fars News Agency dismissed Trump's claim as invalid (22:57 Jerusalem). The new Foreign Ministry statement stops short of a flat denial, but makes clear that no official approval has been given and that the decision rests with Iran's highest decision-making bodies.
What remains open is whether the phrase "any possible understanding" leaves room for a framework that has not yet reached the supreme authorities, or whether it is a procedural way of saying no deal exists until the leadership says so. The Foreign Ministry statement does not address the content of the reported US-Iran talks, nor does it mention the text of any alleged MOU. No Iran-brokered deal has been published or confirmed by any neutral party.
