The Iranian Foreign Minister clarifies the fact that a meeting was held between Vance and Rezaei. This is what he said

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi responded on Tuesday to media reports about a meeting between US Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei, denying their authenticity.

Araqchi denied this in statements he made to the official Iranian News Agency (IRNA), noting that this news is “completely baseless and baseless.”

The Iranian Foreign Minister confirmed that "no meeting has been planned" between the two sides and pointed out that the meeting "is not on the agenda."

Araqchi added: “There was no need for the American president to hear from his people that they reject war with Iran and do not want their country to continue engaging in wars in support of the Zionist entity. He should have realized very early that he did not and will not achieve any of his goals in his war against Iran,” he said.

The Iranian Foreign Minister continued: "It will not be long until Trump realizes that he also took the wrong path with regard to sanctions and economic pressure. The war with Iran will not end either through the military path or by escalating sanctions. The only way out is to use the language of respect, employ diplomacy, and respond to Iran's demands and conditions that were put forward in the two-day plan and are still on the table," according to IRNA.
