Iran's foreign ministry says messages are still being passed between the sides through mediators and Iran has not forsaken diplomacy, but reports that it requested negotiations are 'fabricated'
US President Donald Trump said on Monday, July 27, the United States was having “good talks” with Iran and there was a chance of a deal over their conflict, but he warned that US strikes would resume if the negotiations failed to deliver.
Despite Trump’s optimism, Tehran appeared to quickly test the pause in the US military campaign, with Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Iraq reporting drone attacks on Monday.
Washington abruptly suspended a two-week campaign of air strikes on Iran on Saturday, July 25, in Trump’s latest strategic U-turn in the five-month-old conflict.
“We’re having good talks,” he said. “I think there’s a good chance that something could happen, and if it does, good, if it doesn’t, we go back to doing what we were doing two days ago.”
