Trump Claims No Talks With Iran’s Supreme Leader Amidst Confusion
Despite Iran’s denial of ongoing talks and their characterization of the U.S. president “backing down,” President Trump stated that his administration has been engaged in “very good” and “productive” discussions with Iranian counterparts. These engagements, involving senior envoys, have led to a five-day halt in U.S. strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure. While the president acknowledged not hearing directly from Iran’s Supreme Leader, he indicated that those perceived to be in charge have communicated with his team.
