Donald Trump has offered contradictory accounts of the status of peace negotiations with Iran, alternately claiming talks are progressing rapidly and dismissing them as unimportant, while Iranian officials insist meaningful discussions have effectively been suspended. The disconnect highlights a growing gap between Washington's public narrative and Tehran's reality, raising doubts about whether a viable diplomatic process still exists at all.
