Iran Denies Fresh Peace Talks with United States

Iran has denied reports that it is engaged in fresh peace talks with the United States.

The denial comes after US President Donald Trump said on Monday that both countries were preparing to begin a new round of negotiations.

However, Iran's Foreign Ministry insisted that no such discussions are taking place, despite a slight reduction in the intensity of recent US attacks on Iranian targets.

Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East appear to have eased, raising hopes among the international community that Iran, the United States and Israel will return to the negotiating table instead of escalating the conflict further.
