March 4 (Reuters) - ‌An ​Iranian ​official said the country had not sent ‌any messages to the United ⁠States, in response to an ‌Axios report, Iran's ‌Tasnim news agency said early on Thursday.

"No message has ​been sent from Iran to the US, nor ⁠will any response be given to ​US messages. Iran's armed forces have prepared themselves for ​a long war," ‌the official, who was not named, was ⁠quoted as saying by Tasnim.

On Wednesday, Axios reported the ⁠Iranians had sent messages to the ​United States over the last few days but the U.S. did ‌not respond, citing an American official and ‌a second source.
