Iran: Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi: We have not submitted any request to negotiate with America during the past 15 days.
Iran rejected the US proposal for negotiations, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said. "The American side announced that if this plan was rejected, the negotiations would be considered a failure and they would leave. Ultimately, that's exactly what happened: the American delegation left the negotiations," Kazem Gharibabadi said (quoted by Mehr). According to him, the negotiations in Oman took place after Iran again closed the Strait of Hormuz. The other side insisted that the alternative southern route remain open until the conclusion of the Iranian-Omani talks, but Iran did not accept this proposal.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi: We did not accept the excessive American demands during the Islamabad negotiations and maintained our dignity. In the Oman negotiations, the other side insisted on keeping the southern passage of the Strait of Hormuz open, but we rejected this and adhered to Iran's principles.
In his speech at the Andisheh Cultural Center, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Kazem Gharibabadi announced that during the recent talks in Islamabad, there was “no” request from the Islamic Republic delegation to continue the talks. The Deputy Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic said: “During the recent talks in Islamabad, the American side presented a plan that reflected extremist demands and stated that if this plan was rejected, the talks would fail and they would return.” He added that the Islamic Republic delegation “clearly rejected” these requests and told the American delegation to “go back.” The Deputy Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic also announced that during the Oman negotiations, the other side insisted that the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz be active, but the Islamic Republic did not accept this request. Gharibabadi said: "We told them that whatever the outcome of this action, we will not accept your plans." Gharibabadi also called the diplomacy of the Islamic Republic "honorable."
Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said: The American side made "extreme" demands in the Islamabad talks and warned that if they were not accepted, the talks would fail.
Kazem Gharibabadi, the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, announced that a new route for vessels to enter and exit Oman has been proposed. According to ISNA news agency, he stated that the Islamic Republic “has no intention of violating Oman’s sovereignty” and added: “The responsibility for demining the entire Strait of Hormuz lies with Iran.” Gharibabadi added: “Iran will exercise its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz at any cost and will not accept the southern route of the Strait of Hormuz under any circumstances.” Regarding the status of talks with the United States, he said: “We will not make any request for negotiations with the United States... To date, we have not held any negotiations within the framework of Islamabad’s understanding with the United States.”
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi announces his country's suspension of its commitments under the Memorandum of Understanding signed with the United States. Gharibabadi: The United States has violated all its commitments under the memorandum and suspended implementation of all its provisions. Tehran, in turn, has suspended its commitments under the memorandum and is no longer implementing them, focusing at this stage on defending itself. The United States began its attacks during the negotiations, and its offensive approach "will not achieve any result."
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi: - The path before us now is firm defense against American attacks, not negotiation. - The United States has violated all its commitments under the Memorandum of Understanding, and therefore we have also suspended the implementation of all our commitments. - American aggression will not lead to any result, and Washington must take another path. @Gharibabadi
Live: Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs, said in an interview aired on Iranian state television that Iran had held no negotiations with the United States in nearly a month.

What would make this resolve YES?
This market will resolve to "Yes" if the listed individual attends any formal senior-level round of peace talks between representatives of the United States and Iran between market creation and August 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”.
A qualifying round must be a deliberate in-person diplomatic meeting or negotiating round concerning US-Iran relations, involving senior representatives of both the United States and Iran who are acting in an official capacity and are authorized to conduct or materially direct diplomacy on behalf of their governments.
Indirect in-person diplomacy through designated mediators, facilitators, or interlocutors will qualify, provided senior representatives of both the United States and Iran are participating in the same formal diplomatic process with the knowledge and authorization of their respective governments. The representatives need not be in the same room at the same time.
Follow-on technical talks from the June 22 Switzerland round will not qualify by themselves. Technical, staff-level, working-group, implementation, monitoring, preparatory, or deconfliction meetings will not qualify unless they occur as part of a new formally convened senior-level U.S.-Iran peace-talks round.
Brief greetings, chance encounters, photo opportunities, ceremonial appearances, or talks not deliberately aimed at diplomacy or negotiation will not count.
The meeting must be in-person (including indirect in-person meetings) and must be publicly acknowledged by either government or reported by a consensus of credible media. Remote meetings, phone calls, or other meetings where the relevant parties are not present will not count.
Attendance refers to the listed individual being physically present and actively participating.
If a formal senior-level round of peace talks between representatives of the United States and Iran takes place over multiple days, attendance at any part of the meeting will qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the listed individual and the governments of the United States and Iran; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
