Trump says US held talks with Iran, which denies the claim

Donald Trump said the United States has held talks with Iran and that there were 'major points of agreement' and 'productive conversations' aimed at ending the war. He stated the talks were progressing.

Iran, including its foreign ministry and the Revolutionary Guard, has repeatedly and firmly denied that any such talks have taken place. Iranian officials have dismissed Trump's claims as a 'bluff' and have criticized his negotiating team.

The situation has created a stark contradiction, with Trump asserting progress on diplomacy and Iran completely rejecting the premise that discussions are happening. This has led to widespread media skepticism about the truth of the claims.
