“Hossein Mahvi,” a spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), on Monday, 26 Mordad 1405, denied Donald Trump, the president of the United States, and his claim about the existence of a direct and back-channel communication link between the U.S. government and IRGC officials.

According to a report by the “Tasnim” news agency, the IRGC spokesman said: “There is no dialogue between IRGC officials and Americans underway.”

He described Trump’s remarks as “fantasies” stemming from “delusions and nightmares caused by defeat and helplessness in the war.”
