- Trump declared Iran 'wants peace' and said there is a 'very good chance of a deal' to end the US-Israel war on Iran, praising the US military for doing a 'great job'
- Senior Iranian officials have denied that Tehran is holding talks with Washington, directly contradicting Trump's framing of diplomatic progress
Why it matters: The two sides are not even aligned on whether negotiations exist — Iran's denial of any talks means Trump's 'very good chance of a deal' has no confirmed counterpart, leaving the war's end without an agreed diplomatic channel.
