BREAKING: Iran directly rejects Axios' report that a new round of US-Iran negotiations is underway today, saying it is "false and primarily aimed at managing the market and oil prices," and also denies Al Jazeera's claims that Iranian technical experts have been sent to New York to join talks as completely untrue, per Fars.
It is the second time this week Iran has said Western reporting on negotiations is aimed at manipulating the oil price, after it rejected the Reuters report on a phased path out of the war on Thursday.
