Trump says Iran talks underway, Tehran denies negotiations
U.S. President Donald Trump said on July 27 that there was a “good chance” of reaching a deal with Iran as the two countries held fire for a third consecutive day, although Tehran denied that negotiations were underway.
“We’re having good talks right now,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “There’s a good chance that something could happen.”
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said mediators might relay messages from Washington but that Iran was not currently negotiating with the United States.
“At present, we are not engaged in any negotiations with the United States,” he said.
