While President Donald Trump raised the prospect of a negotiated end to the conflict, Iranian officials rejected claims of talks

President Donald Trump said the US is negotiating with Iran to end the three-week conflict, citing “very good and productive” talks over the past two days on a Truth Social post.

He said both sides are pursuing a “complete and total resolution” and has ordered a five-day pause on strikes against Iranian energy sites, pending further discussions.

While he raised the prospect of a negotiated end to the conflict, Iranian officials rejected claims of talks. Trump, however, said US envoys are in contact with a “respected” Iranian leader.
