What happened

Well supportedReported by 22 independent outlets

President Donald Trump has been pushing for a diplomatic solution with Tehran, despite a military campaign that lasted nearly six months. However, Tehran has denied that negotiations are currently underway, contradicting statements made by Donald Trump. Furthermore, Iran tore up a previous memorandum of understanding that had set a 60-day period for negotiations and allowed oil to flow freely out of the Gulf.
