Iran Denies Ongoing Talks With US, Undermining Monday Meeting

🚫 TEHRAN — Trump named Monday. Iran says there are no talks to show up to. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: This isn't ambiguity — it's a public contradiction of Trump's announcement. Without an Iranian interlocutor, Monday has no diplomatic architecture. Tehran's denial also neutralizes the "no deadline" concession Trump made, since a meeting with no agreed agenda and no Iranian acknowledgment isn't a negotiation. Gulf markets pricing de-escalation now face a harder reality check.
