00:00The Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohamed Bangal Khalibaf denied on Monday that Iran was negotiating with the U.S. to end
00:08the war.
00:09Hours earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. was currently holding negotiations with Iran and that Iran
00:16wanted to reach a deal to end the war.
00:18Iran refuted that there had been any high-level communications with the White House and dismissed Trump's rhetorics as a
00:25thinly veiled attempt to manipulate jittery global markets.
00:30Mr. Khalibaf shared a message on social media saying that our people demand the complete and humiliating punishment of the
00:37aggressors and mentioned that all officials turn firmly behind their leader and people until this goal is achieved and that
00:46no negotiations have taken place with the U.S.
00:49Mr. Khalibaf emphasized in this message that fake news has been spreading in order to manipulate the financial and oil
00:55markets.
00:55On Monday, the New York Times, citing U.S. senior defense officials, reported that the Pentagon is now weighing a
01:02possible deployment of airborne troops to support military operations in Iran.
