Trump Insists Iran Talks Are Underway Despite Tehran's 'Duplicitous' Denials The war between the US and Iran has been a perpetual motion machine, fueled by conflicting statements from both sides and a seemingly endless cycle of escalating tensions followed by temporary truces.
President Donald Trump's latest claim that talks with Iran are underway is just the latest iteration of this loop. Trump's insistence on negotiations may seem like a sign of diplomatic progress at first glance.
However, a closer look reveals a more complex web of words and actions. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, has been clear: there are no immediate plans for direct talks with the US.
