U.S. envoy says Iran wants a deal, but diplomats say he undermined talks

U.S. envoy Witkoff has said Iran is looking for a way to reach an agreement with the United States. However, other diplomats claim Witkoff's actions have actually undermined the negotiation process.

Iran has publicly denied engaging in talks with the U.S. and has stated it will not negotiate with Witkoff or Jared Kushner. Separately, reports indicate Iran's foreign minister secretly informed Witkoff that the country's supreme leader had agreed to negotiate.
