Washington, United States. US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that talks between Washington and Tehran remain ongoing, rejecting reports that negotiations had been suspended amid regional tensions and Israeli military operations in Lebanon. He said contacts between the two sides had continued uninterrupted in recent days.
Trump statement
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said speculation that Iran had halted dialogue with the United States was incorrect.
“The false information that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States stopped talking a few days ago is false and incorrect,” Trump wrote.
He added that discussions had continued daily.
“Our discussions continued uninterruptedly four days ago, three days, two days, one day and today,” he said.
Unclear details
Trump did not provide further details about the format of the talks or the issues under discussion.
His comments appeared aimed at countering reports that diplomatic engagement between the two countries had been disrupted by developments elsewhere in the region.
Wider tensions
The US president also said the outcome of the negotiations remained uncertain.
“Where this will lead, we don’t know,” he wrote.
The remarks came as Washington and Tehran continued efforts to manage escalating tensions linked to the wider conflict in the Middle East.
