Trump says Iran is about to make a new proposal, Tehran immediately denies

According to reports on April 25, US President Donald Trump stated that Iran is preparing to make a proposal to meet Washington’s demands, amid the possibility of talks resuming in Islamabad (Pakistan).

He said the specific content is unclear, but reiterated that any agreement must include Tehran abandoning enriched uranium and ensuring free passage of oil through the Strait of Hormuz.

US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected to travel to Islamabad on April 25 to meet with the Iranian delegation, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has been there since the evening of April 24.

Trump said the US is working with “those currently in power” in Iran, but did not name names. The US leader also emphasized that the blockade of Iranian ports would be maintained until an agreement is reached.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Tasnim news agency denied reports that Tehran had offered direct negotiations, asserting that the country currently has no intention of dialogue with Washington under current conditions.

“Iran has never made any request for dialogue with the Americans, and on the contrary, has completely rejected negotiation offers from the US due to their arrogant attitude up to this point,” Tasnim posted on Telegram.
