Iran denies intelligence ministry contacted CIA for talks

Investing.com -- Iran has rejected a New York Times report claiming that operatives from its Ministry of Intelligence signaled openness to talks with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency about ending the war.

The report is "pure falsehood and psychological warfare," Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency said Wednesday, citing a source from the Ministry of Intelligence.

The New York Times reported Wednesday that Iranian intelligence operatives reached out to the CIA through an unnamed country’s spy agency, according to Middle Eastern officials and officials from a Western nation who spoke on condition of anonymity.
