"We have not held talks with the US. Over the past few days, messages have been received from a number of friendly countries regarding US demands for talks aimed at ending the war, which have been responded to in accordance with the country's principled position," Baghaei told the IRNA news agency.
The response included warnings about the grave consequences of any attacks on critical Iranian infrastructure, as well as the readiness of the Iranian armed forces to respond decisively, quickly and effectively to such actions, Baghaei added.
