No direct or indirect talks between Tehran and Washington have taken place, Iran's ambassador to Pakistan was quoted as saying on Wednesday by state media, contradicting U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks about Iran seeking a deal.

"Based on my information, contrary to Trump's claim, no direct or indirect negotiations have taken place between the two countries so far," Reza Amiri Moghadam said, adding that "friendly countries seek to lay the ground for dialogue between Tehran and Washington, which we hope will be fruitful in ending this imposed war".

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said on Tuesday that Islamabad was ready to host any talks.
