An Iranian lawmaker dismisses US President Donald Trump’s claim that Washington held “very good talks” on Iran following indirect dialogue in Oman that could help avert an escalation of tensions.

Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesman for the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, calls Trump a “liar,” writing on X that the Islamic Republic “has not backed down from its red lines and will not do so.”

“It is these Americans who, after the failure of their other options (military, economic, terrorist and so on), now have no choice but to accept the frameworks and the rights of the Iranian nation,” Rezaei adds.
