Tehran:Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Major General Mohsen Rezaei, has firmly denied recent US claims regarding negotiations taking place in Qatar.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, General Rezaei stated in an interview with Al Mayadeen TV that the claims by Washington are "pure lies" intended to ease economic pressure and lower global oil prices.

General Rezaei emphasized Iran's stance on the strategic Strait of Hormuz, highlighting that Tehran has set forth seven conditions as the unquestionable rights of the Iranian nation. Additionally, he dismissed rumors about a planned meeting with US Vice President JD Vance, calling them "completely baseless and false." He stressed that no negotiations are currently happening between Iran and the United States.
