Trump described reports of a breakdown in talks as 'fake news' and emphasized that negotiations have been ongoing despite the lack of progress in resolving the US-Israeli war on Iran, which began on February 28, 2026. Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio noted that Iran appears to be more open regarding its nuclear program, suggesting a potential shift in their stance.
