Iran Says No New Mediator in US Talks, Existing Channels Only

🕊️ TEHRAN — Iran names no new mediator days before Monday talks. That's a structural tell. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Baghaei's denial forecloses any new third-party entry — keeping Oman as the sole channel Iran trusts. That narrows Trump's leverage: no fresh interlocutor means no reset of terms. With Iran already rejecting Trump's "deal parameters," confirming the same mediator architecture signals Tehran wants the same framework, not a new one. Monday's talks start on Iran's procedural terms.
