Iran Rejects Negotiations With United States, Top Security Official Says

TEHRAN - Iran will not negotiate with the United States, a top Iranian security official stated on Monday, dismissing reports of renewed efforts to engage in talks with Washington.

Ali Larijani, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, made the remarks in response to recent reports suggesting that Iran was attempting to revive negotiations with the U.S.

The statement underscores the continued tensions between the two countries and casts doubt on any near-term prospects for diplomatic engagement.
