Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has rejected claims by U.S. President Donald Trump that the United States is holding secret talks with the Iranian force.
IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi described Trump’s statement as a “delusion” and strongly denied that any discussions are taking place between IRGC officials and U.S. representatives.
Mohebbi said there are currently no direct talks between the IRGC and the United States. He also stated that Iran’s diplomatic team is not engaged in negotiations with Washington at this time.
According to Mohebbi, Iran’s decision is linked to what it considers broken promises made by the United States in the past. He argued that previous agreements and commitments have not been respected, making it difficult for Iran to trust Washington.
IRGC Rejects Reports of Negotiations
The IRGC has maintained a firm position against direct engagement with the United States. Mohebbi said reports suggesting that secret negotiations are taking place do not reflect the situation on the ground.
His comments came amid continued tensions between Tehran and Washington. The two countries have long been involved in disputes over Iran’s nuclear programme, sanctions, regional security and previous international agreements.
Iran has repeatedly criticized U.S. policies and sanctions, while Washington has continued to pressure Tehran on several issues. These disagreements have made relations between the two countries highly sensitive.
Tensions Remain High
The latest exchange highlights the lack of trust between Iran and the United States. While there have been periods when the two sides have used diplomatic channels to discuss important issues, disagreements have repeatedly prevented a lasting improvement in relations.
Mohebbi’s statement also sends a clear message that Iran is not prepared to confirm any direct negotiations with Washington. The IRGC remains strongly opposed to what it sees as pressure and interference from the United States.
For now, both countries continue to face major differences, and there is no clear indication of a breakthrough in their relationship.
The conflicting statements from Washington and Tehran also show how sensitive any reports about possible negotiations can be. Any future talks would likely depend on major changes in the positions of both sides and guarantees that previous commitments would be respected.
