- President Trump is pursuing a new Iran deal through diplomacy after his administration's waves of military strikes failed to secure one.
- Iran denied that negotiations resumed Monday, directly contradicting Trump's claim that talks were back on.
Why it matters: Tehran's immediate denial contradicts Trump's stated Monday timeline, stalling the diplomatic pivot before it begins. With no deal secured from strikes and no Iranian cooperation on talks, the administration faces the same standoff it tried to break militarily.
