The Iranian Ambassador in Islamabad, Reza Amiri Moghadam, has said there had been no talks between Washington and Tehran after US President Donald Trump signalled that there had been peace overtures between the two sides. According to IRNA news, the Iranian Ambassador to Pakistan was quoted as saying that the current war is the result of America’s betrayal of the negotiations. Earlier, Israel’s Envoy to the United Nations, Danny Danon, had denied any knowledge of possible peace talks between Iran, the United States and Israel. Addressing a media stakeout at the United Nations, he said the goal was to ensure that Iran did not gain nuclear capability. These remarks from the Iranian and Israeli sides come after the US President signalled that peace overtures were being made with Iran and that the war was coming to an end. Meanwhile, peace remains elusive in West Asia, with Israel continuing its strikes in Iran and the Iranian military launching its retaliatory strikes against Israeli and American targets.
