Trump claims US having 'very good discussions' with Iran

US President Donald Trump has claimed that Washington and Tehran are engaged in "very good discussions," despite repeated denials from Iranian officials. In an interview with Fox News, Trump said, "We're having very good discussions. They don't like to admit that, but yeah, it's a little bit disconcerting." He added, "The only thing that matters is action, and they want to make a deal. We'll see what happens. If they don't make a deal, it's going to be too bad."

However, the spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry said on Monday that Tehran is not currently engaged in any negotiations with Washington. This statement directly contradicts Trump's assertion, highlighting the ongoing tension and lack of formal diplomatic engagement between the two countries.

The remarks come amid heightened tensions between the US and Iran over various issues, including Iran's nuclear program and regional policies. The US has imposed severe sanctions on Iran, while Iran has repeatedly stated that it will not negotiate under pressure.

According to Mehr News Agency (MNA), the report highlights the discrepancy between Trump's optimistic claims and the official Iranian position. The situation remains fluid, with no clear indication of any imminent breakthrough in US-Iran relations.
