Tehran: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baghaei, rejected the claim that Iran had interfered in the ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas, according to a statement released by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, yesterday.

According to Nam News Network, Baghaei's remarks came in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's comments a day earlier, in which Trump alleged that Iran had intervened in the latest round of talks aimed at ending the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The negotiations, held in Qatar, were suspended last week with both Israeli and U.S. delegations walking out.

Describing Trump's claim as absolutely baseless, Baghaei said the accusation was an attempt to deflect U.S. responsibility for its complicity in what he called Israeli crimes against the Palestinians.
