President Donald Trump has commented on the ongoing peace talks with Iran, describing the Iranian government as "strange" and "increasingly desperate". Despite Iranian media denying there are currently any ongoing negotiations, Trump insists that Iranian officials are "begging" to make a deal with the United States. This comes as the conflict with Iran enters its fourth week. The White House and other sources have refuted reports that Iran is excluding Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner from the talks. Another source familiar with the negotiations called these reports a form of foreign propaganda relying on accounts of potential adversaries who want to undermine the peace talks.
