Desperately seeking an off-ramp from his disastrous war in Iran, Donald Trump insists that Iran is negotiating a deal. "They want a deal so badly", he assures us. In fact, he seems to think that they have had "GOOD AND PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATIONS" already, and some "very, very strong talks".
Unfortunately, Iran doesn't seem to know anything about this. Iran's foreign ministry issued to a terse statement saying that, "There is no dialogue between Tehran and Washington". The speaker of Iran's parliament confirmed that, "No negotiations have been held with the US, and fake news is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped". A spokesperson for Iran's military was less subtle: "You are negotiating with yourselves ... someone like us will never come to terms with someone like you. Not now, not ever".
As usual, Trump seems cocooned in his own little world, more concerned with appearances than actual substance. Meanwhile, the US and Israel continue bombing the hell out of Iran, and Iran continues bombing anybody it can reach.
