Iran Denies U.S. Negotiation Claims Amid Missile Strikes

Iran's ambassador to Pakistan has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's assertion that negotiations are ongoing between Tehran and Washington, emphasizing that there are no concrete engagements amid heightened military tensions.

The remarks come as Iran's Revolutionary Guard launched missile and drone strikes targeting locations in Israel, where U.S. forces are present. The attacks included a drone strike on a fuel tank at an international airport in Kuwait and missile alerts across central Israel.

The conflict, which intensified on February 28, has resulted in significant casualties and displacement, with reports indicating 1,000 people killed and millions displaced. Despite Trump's claims of negotiations, Iranian officials have not confirmed any diplomatic discussions, and the U.S. is preparing for further military escalation in the region.

The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical flashpoint for global oil supply, with Iran warning against disruptions to maritime traffic linked to U.S. and Israeli forces.
