Iran's Foreign Ministry has categorically denied reports by The New York Times that its UN envoy met with Elon Musk in New York earlier this week, calling the claims fabricated. Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei and Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi both dismissed the reports, with state media quoting officials expressing 'surprise over extensive media fabrication by American outlets.' Officials asserted that no Iranian official has met with Musk, and the reports were incorrectly based on claims by two supposed Iranian officials.
