Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

President Trump has denied reports that his administration offered Iran sanctions relief, rejecting claims on social media. The denial comes as conflicting reports emerge about his stance on Iranian nuclear program negotiations.

Trump rejected a report from Axios claiming he offered sanctions relief to Iran, calling the story a hoax. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi confirmed indirect talks with the U.S. through Qatari mediators, with a formal response expected by Tuesday.

The denial by Trump follows a pattern of conflicting reports about his stance on Iranian nuclear program negotiations. The situation remains under scrutiny as the U.S. and Iran continue to engage in indirect talks through intermediaries.

The discrepancy in reports highlights the complexity of U.S.-Iran negotiations. Trump's denial and the Iranian minister's confirmation underscore the ongoing uncertainty in regional security dynamics.
