Message Exchange with the U.S. Continues but Does Not Mean Negotiations Have Begun

WANA (Nov 03) – Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei, in his press conference today, emphasized: “No official message from the United States was conveyed to Iran during Mr. Ravanchi’s visit to Oman. The exchange of messages through intermediaries continues, but this in no way means the start of a negotiation process between Iran and the U.S.”

Iran’s Position on Palestine and the Ceasefire in Gaza

Baghaei referred to the continuation of Israeli attacks, stating: “Since the announcement of the ceasefire in Gaza, more than 200 innocent Palestinians have been killed and over 600 injured. What is happening in Gaza is not a war — it is a full-scale genocide.”

He criticized the “inaction of the UN Security Council and the countries supporting the Zionist regime,” stressing that such inaction “has emboldened Israel’s arrogance and impunity.”
