Iran has no plans for a new round of negotiations with the United States in New York, Iranian state media reported on Monday.
A source close to Iran’s delegation in New York told state-run IRNA that Tehran was awaiting a response from Washington to proposals it had conveyed through Qatar last Tuesday.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is due to leave New York on Tuesday after completing his scheduled engagements, the source said.
The comments came after US President Donald Trump said he expected talks with Iran to resume in the coming week, despite rejecting an Iranian proposal for a seven-day truce and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has said any reopening of the strategic waterway would depend on conditions including an end to hostilities and other measures sought by Tehran.
The latest statements indicate that Washington and Tehran remain publicly divided over the terms and timing of any renewed negotiations.
