"No Communication": Iran Shuts Down Reports of Secret U.S. Diplomacy
Tehran Denies Backchannel Talks as 48-Hour Ultimatum Looms; Foreign Ministry Signals Zero Engagement
In a move that further darkens the prospect of a peaceful resolution, Iran’s Foreign Ministry has officially denied reports of any recent diplomatic engagement with the United States. Speaking at a press briefing in Tehran on Monday, March 23, 2026, the ministry’s spokesperson dismissed claims of "secret backchannel talks" as fabricated and reaffirmed that no discussions—direct or indirect—have taken place.
The denial comes at a critical moment, with less than 24 hours remaining on President Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
