President Trump told reporters that his envoys held talks with a senior official in the Iranian leadership and claimed the parties are in agreement on many points.



Why it matters: Trump walked back his threat to strike Iran's power plants on Monday, citing productive negotiations.

  • Iran denied any such talks have taken place and claimed Trump was just trying to calm the energy markets.

  • But an Israeli official told Axios that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner had been speaking with the speaker of the Iranian parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.

  • Trump did not name the Iranian interlocutor, saying he did not want to get him killed, but claimed the U.S. and Iran were aligned on many of the key issues.
Trump put himself in a corner. According to Iran's Foreign Minister there have NOT been talks. Trump is looking for a way out.
