Iran ‘categorically’ dismisses NYT report about its envoy’s meeting with Musk
The Iranian Foreign Ministry has “categorically” dismissed an American newspaper report on a meeting between Tehran’s ambassador to the United Nations and Elon Musk, a close ally of US President-elect Donald Trump.
The New York Times on Friday cited two Iranian officials as saying that the meeting between Musk and Iran's permanent representative to the United Nations Amir Saeid Iravani was held at a secret location in New York on Monday and lasted more than an hour.
The officials reportedly described the discussion as focused on how to defuse tensions between Tehran and Washington.
The Times said Musk, the world’s richest man, himself initiated the meeting, held at a location chosen by the Iranian side.
In an interview with IRNA on Saturday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei rejected the report of the meeting and expressed surprise over “extensive” media coverage by American outlets in this regard.
