BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 8. Iran has not made
any proposal to the United States regarding negotiations on its
nuclear program, said Esmail Baghaei, the spokesperson for the
Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), Trend reports.
Speaking to local media, Baghaei rejected recent comments by
U.S. President Donald Trump.
“The claim made by U.S. President Donald Trump does not reflect
the truth,” Baghaei said, responding to Trump’s assertion that
Tehran had approached Washington to initiate dialogue.
Earlier, President Trump claimed that Tehran had reached out to
Washington to begin talks.

Iran’s nuclear program have taken place on April 12, 19, 26, May
