Senior US officials told CBS that no new negotiations with Iran are planned at this stage, the outlet reported Monday evening, directly contradicting President Donald Trump's recent assertions that talks were underway or imminent.
The denial follows a similar report from Pakistani government sources earlier Monday, who told Turkish media that no date had been set for resuming US-Iran talks, as The Zioneer reported earlier today. That report also contradicted Trump's claim that talks would resume that day.
The latest developments add to a pattern of conflicting signals between the Trump administration's public statements and those of anonymous officials and foreign intermediaries. The White House has maintained that it is applying maximum pressure on Tehran while pursuing diplomatic channels, but the denials from US officials and other sources suggest the path to renewed negotiations remains unclear.
