A top U.S. official strongly denies recent reports suggesting the Trump administration secretly proposed easing sanctions on Iran in exchange for a partial nuclear deal, calling the claims "false" and "misleading." The official insists no such discussions took place, emphasizing that the administration remains committed to its "maximum pressure" campaign against Tehran. The denial comes amid ongoing tensions over Iran’s nuclear program and regional influence, raising questions about the credibility of earlier reporting. Without official confirmation of any backchannel negotiations, the dispute highlights the complexity of diplomatic efforts in the Middle East.
US President Trump rejects a news report claiming his administration offered Iran sanctions relief and frozen funds.
