According to the report, the latest communication from Tehran to Washington included what it described as “a clear message about Lebanon,” though no further details were provided.

The claim comes amid conflicting accounts over the status of indirect talks between the two sides.

Iranian media outlets, including Fars and Tasnim, said communication with mediators over a possible ceasefire extension had been halted as tensions escalated in the wider regional conflict involving Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

However, US President Donald Trump rejected the assertion, insisting that discussions were continuing regularly.

“The conversations between us have been going on continuously, including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago and today,” Trump said in a social media post, calling reports of a breakdown in talks “false and erroneous.”

He added that while negotiations were ongoing, “where they lead, one never knows,” urging Tehran to “make a deal one way or another.”

Separately, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held telephone discussions with counterparts from France, Türkiye, Qatar, Egypt, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, according to Iran’s Foreign Ministry.

The diplomatic outreach came shortly after a series of drone and missile strikes attributed to Iran targeting Kuwait and Bahrain, which Tehran said were carried out in response to “US aggression.”
