Iran has repeatedly stated that it does not want to negotiate an agreement with the US, reports Tasnim; adds Trump once again claimed that Iran wants to reach an agreement quickly

Public positioning of this kind is the standard opening phase of any US-Iran negotiation track: Tehran denying interest in talks while Washington claims the opposite has recurred across previous episodes of engagement, and the denials have historically preceded rather than precluded eventual contact, often through intermediaries. The transmission channel runs through crude, where the market prices a headline-driven geopolitical premium around supply risk and sanctions relief expectations; talk of a possible agreement tends to lean on that premium, while breakdowns in rhetoric restore it. The distinction worth drawing is between negotiating posturing and an actual rupture: denials from semi-official agencies like Tasnim reflect domestic signalling and factional management as much as diplomatic reality, and hardline-leaning outlets have historically been the vehicle for the most hawkish framing. Follow-ons are whether back-channel reporting emerges through the usual intermediaries, any movement on sanctions enforcement or Iranian export volumes, and further remarks from either side's leadership. As it stands this is verbal positioning without a confirmed change in policy, and comparable exchanges have tended to fade absent a concrete event.
