Trump and Iran exchange warnings and claims about talks

President Donald Trump issued a warning to Iran, saying it needed to 'get serious before it's too late.' In response, Tehran officials warned of 'zero restraint' and insisted they were not engaged in any talks with the United States.

Trump claimed he had accepted an offer from Iran to talk and described communications as 'productive,' but Iranian authorities repeatedly denied any such contact was taking place. Trump also shared what he called a 'succession plan' for Tehran's leadership.

The situation highlights a public dispute where one side claims diplomacy is happening while the other flatly denies it, against a backdrop of heightened warnings from both.
