Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghaei has described U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim about possible diplomatic talks with Iran as ‘unreliable’. In an interview with India Today published on March 25, 2026, Baghaei stated that several countries have approached Iran with mediation proposals, but Tehran remains firm on defending itself.

Baghaei questioned Washington’s sincerity in seeking a peaceful resolution, pointing to what he described as continuous bombings and missile strikes by the United States and Israel against Iran. He argued that such actions undermine any credibility in U.S. claims of diplomacy or mediation.

The remarks come amid heightened tensions and uncertainty surrounding potential ceasefire efforts between Iran and the United States, with reports of mediation attempts involving Pakistan, Turkey, and Egypt.
