Tehran, Mar 24 (V7N) – Donald Trump has claimed that discussions are underway to explore the possibility of a broader agreement with Iran, but Tehran has strongly rejected the assertion, calling it “fake news.”

According to Al Jazeera, Iranian officials have categorically denied any ongoing negotiations with the United States. The Speaker of Iran’s parliament said that claims of talks are “completely false” and are being spread deliberately to influence global financial and oil markets.

Meanwhile, global oil markets reacted sharply after President Trump announced a five-day postponement of a potential strike on Iranian power facilities. Following the announcement, international oil prices dropped by approximately 11 percent, reflecting reduced immediate fears of escalation.

Despite diplomatic rhetoric, tensions between the two countries remain high. The United States Central Command confirmed that its forces continue to carry out strikes on various Iranian targets.

Analysts say the conflicting signals—talks on one hand and continued military action on the other—highlight the fragile and volatile nature of the situation, with no immediate signs of de-escalation.
