Iran’s foreign ministry denied that a meeting was held between the Iranian ambassador to the United Nations and Elon Musk, the world’s wealthiest person and close ally of US President-elect Donald Trump, Iranian state media reported Saturday.

The New York Times reported the meeting took place earlier this week, citing two Iranian officials.

But Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei “categorically denied” that a meeting took place and was “surprised” by the coverage in US media, state-run IRNA said.

The Times reported that a meeting between Musk and Iran’s envoy Amir Saeid Iravani was held at a secret location in New York on Monday and lasted more than an hour, citing the Iranian officials, who reportedly described the discussion as focused on how to defuse tensions between the two countries.

Never believe anything until it’s officially denied.

If it happened it would have to be in secret. Easier to deny. Could stir up even more trouble in Teheran.

Think 2009 protests. Who was in charge here.
Next Cuba. Marco taking the lead in the excrement disturbing department.

Stars are alining. Gonna be awesome.

I categorically deny being overweight.

Now that that’s out of the way, a slice of pizza sounds good :)

Categorically denying is a big flag :)

The reports of this “alleged” meeting with Iran is just another attempt to sow seeds of discontent in Trump’s inner circle.

Musk never talked to the Iranians. It's all MSM and Democrat BS. You're too slow and stupid and left-wing to figure any of this out.

You're too stupid to figure any of this out. I don't need to explain it to the others, and I won't explain it to you.
