Iranian media sources have refuted reports suggesting an imminent agreement between Iran and the United States in Geneva, Switzerland, asserting that ongoing negotiations between the two parties have not yet reached a final decision.
The semi-official Iranian news agency "Fars" quoted a source close to the Iranian negotiating team, affirming that circulating information about reaching a final agreement or preparing to sign in the coming days does not reflect the current reality of the discussions.
The source clarified that talk of a finalized agreement ready to be signed in Geneva is not based on accurate data, pointing out that negotiations are still ongoing concerning several key issues requiring further examination and consensus.
They added that Iranian authorities are still evaluating proposed offers and have not yet made a definitive decision on them, whether to agree or reject, indicating that consultations are ongoing and have not reached the final stage.
This denial comes amid a wave of media reports suggesting significant progress in talks between Washington and Tehran, with expectations of reaching an understanding that could ease existing tensions and pave the way for a new phase of diplomacy.
Observers believe the continued review of documents and proposals reflects unresolved disputes, meaning that reaching a comprehensive agreement hinges on both parties narrowing these differences in future rounds.
American media reports have mentioned logistical arrangements related to potential talks in Geneva, including movements of U.S. military transport planes to Europe and potential participation of senior U.S. officials in the upcoming meetings.
These developments occur within the framework of ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran since the ceasefire began last April. These talks aim to address outstanding issues and set the stage for a broader agreement that would ease regional tensions.
Despite the positive atmosphere following some statements in recent weeks, divergent positions on several critical issues highlight the need for more political and diplomatic efforts before reaching a comprehensive understanding between the two sides.
