U.S. President Donald Trump said Iranian negotiators are privately urging Washington to reach an agreement, while publicly stating they are only reviewing a U.S. proposal.
Trump made the remarks during a public appearance, describing the talks as progressing behind the scenes despite Tehran’s more cautious public messaging. He did not provide details on the negotiations or identify the officials involved.
Iranian authorities have not confirmed Trump’s characterization and have continued to state that they are evaluating proposals without committing to direct engagement or concessions.
The comments come amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East, where diplomatic efforts are running alongside continued military activity in the region.
Officials on both sides have signaled that discussions remain sensitive, with any potential agreement dependent on further negotiations and developments on the ground.
