Trump Claims Iran Seeks Talks; Tehran Disputes Statement on July 10

According to Jin10, on July 10, U.S. President Trump posted on Truth Social that Iran hopes to continue negotiations with the U.S., and the U.S. has agreed to do so. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei denied the claim the same day, stating Iran never requested talks but is willing to accept visits from mediators.

Middle East expert Wang Jin said in a statement that meaningful dialogue between the U.S. and Iran is unlikely in the near term due to weak trust foundations, ongoing tensions, and skepticism from both domestic publics. However, mediating nations including Qatar, Oman, and Pakistan continue efforts to facilitate communication channels between the two sides.
