Trump says US held talks with Iran, but Iran denies it

President Donald Trump said the United States has held 'productive' talks with Iran and that there is 'major points of agreement' to end the ongoing war. He claimed discussions were progressing.

Iran's government and its Revolutionary Guard have repeatedly and firmly denied that any such talks have taken place. Iranian officials called Trump's negotiators 'backstabbing' and refused to engage in peace talks.

This has created a situation where it is unclear whether Trump is telling the truth about the talks or if his claims are a bluff. Many observers and news outlets have expressed skepticism about the existence of these discussions.
