Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman dismissed claims in US media regarding Elon Musk's meeting with the Islamic Republic’s ambassador to the UN.

According to The Iran Project, Esmaeil Baghaei rejected the false reports by US media regarding the meeting between Musk and Iran’s Ambassador Amir Saeed Iravani in New York. 
Baghaei expressed surprise over the extensive propagation by American media outlets of the alleged meeting.
