    Iran Speaker Denies US Talks After Israeli Media Names Him Trump’s ‘Top Contact’

    Iran has denied claims of back-channel talks with the United States after US President Donald Trump said Washington was in contact with a “top person” in Tehran amid rising tensions in the region. Trump suggested that Iran’s leadership structure was unclear following recent developments, adding that much of the country’s leadership had been “wiped out”, though he did not provide details about who was involved in the alleged communication. A report by The Jerusalem Post, citing unnamed sources, claimed that Mohammad‑Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of Iran’s Parliament, was leading the talks on behalf of Tehran. Iranian officials, however, swiftly rejected the claim. Iran Rejects Talks Claim Ghalibaf said no negotiations had taken place with the United States and accused foreign media of spreading false information to influence global markets. 2/ No negotiations have been held with the US, and fakenews is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped. — محمدباقر قالیباف | MB Ghalibaf (@mb_ghalibaf) March 23, 2026 In a statement posted on social media, he said “no negotiations have been held with the US” and alleged that fake news was being used to manipulate financial and oil markets while attempting to distract from what he described as failures by Washington and its allies. He also dismissed suggestions that Iran’s leadership was divided, insisting that all officials remained united in their position. Strong Message Of Unity The Iranian parliamentary speaker said the country’s leadership stands firmly behind Supreme Leader and the Iranian people, warning that Tehran would not soften its stance. He said the Iranian public expected what he called complete and remorseful punishment of aggressors, without naming specific countries, but his remarks appeared to refer to the United States and Israel. 1/ Iranian people demand complete and remorseful punishment of the aggressors.All Irainan officials stand firmly behind their supreme leader and people until this goal is achieved. — محمدباقر قالیباف | MB Ghalibaf (@mb_ghalibaf) March 23, 2026 Trump’s earlier comments had raised speculation about possible indirect contacts between Washington and Tehran, particularly as tensions have increased in recent weeks. However, Iranian officials have repeatedly said they will not enter negotiations under pressure. There has been no confirmation from the White House about the identity of the person Trump claimed the US was speaking to, and Washington has not commented on Iran’s denial.

Emergency teams, military personnel and local authorities were deployed to the crash site, which is located in a difficult-to-access jungle region.

President Orders Urgent Military Review President Gustavo Petro reacted to the incident by calling for urgent modernisation of the country’s military equipment, saying bureaucratic delays had slowed planned upgrades to transport aircraft and helicopters. In a statement, Petro said the lives of young soldiers were at stake and insisted that the armed forces must improve mobility and operational capability, particularly in remote regions affected by ageing aircraft and limited transport capacity. La renovación del armamento de las fuerzas militares es una decisión de mi presidencia desde hace años.Las dificultades burocráticas en la administración militar no han permitido realizar el Conpes/confis desde hace un año que lo pedí.Si los funcionarios administrativos… https://t.co/w4lXrnvqz8 — Gustavo Petro (@petrogustavo) March 23, 2026 He added that he hoped there would be no fatalities in what he described as a horrific accident, while urging officials to avoid speculation until confirmed information is released.
