U.S. President Donald Trump has strongly refuted claims circulating in American mainstream media that negotiations with Iran have been terminated. In a social media statement, Trump labeled these reports as "false and mistaken."
Trump asserted that discussions between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding without interruption. He specified that the talks have been ongoing continuously, including "four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, yesterday, and today."
The president urged the Iranian leadership to finalize an agreement, stating, "It is time to make a deal, one way or another." This call comes despite previous reports suggesting Iran had suspended negotiations.
