Iran said Tuesday it has not made any request for talks with the United States, after President Donald Trump said Tehran was seeking negotiations following last month's war with Israel.
"No request for a meeting has been made on our side to the American side," said Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, according to Tasnim news agency.
Trump said Monday that Iran was seeking talks with the United States and that they had been scheduled, without specifying the time or the location.
"We have scheduled Iran talks. They want to talk," Trump told reporters in the White House where he was meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"They want to meet. They want to work something out. They're very different now than they were two weeks ago."
