IRGC Denies Secret Channels with Trump, Attributes Claims to Despair
A spokesperson for the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) denied any secret negotiations with the United States, directly contradicting claims made by President Donald Trump. The statement reaffirms Tehran's official stance against direct contact outside established diplomatic frameworks.
Trump's Claims and Firm Iranian Denial
Trump told Fox News that his administration had established a direct secret communication channel with the IRGC, adding he was not in a hurry to reach a deal despite the expiration of a 60-day peace negotiation deadline. In response, the IRGC spokesperson labeled these allegations as "lies" and "nothing but delusions stemming from defeats and despair caused by the war."
Diplomatic Context and Communication Protocols
The spokesperson clarified that diplomacy falls outside the IRGC's mandate, citing Foreign Ministry officials who denied any ongoing talks with Americans. He attributed this lack of contact to Washington's history of breaking promises and repeatedly violating its commitments.
These remarks come amid rising tensions and questions about the future of negotiations, with Tehran insisting no secret initiatives exist that contradict the official government position repeatedly stated.
