Swapna Kumbar , Bengaluru - Donald Trump said there is a “good chance” of progress in Iran talks as the two sides keep their guns silent for now. Tehran, however, had earlier denied that any talks were underway to end the conflict.
Trump has repeatedly signaled optimism about negotiations, saying the U.S. and Iran could still reach a deal even after weeks of uncertainty. His latest remarks suggest the administration sees a diplomatic opening, but the details of any possible framework remain unclear. Iran’s denial adds to the confusion around the talks and shows that the public messaging from both sides is still far apart. That means the current pause in fighting may be fragile, with diplomacy moving behind the scenes even as both governments avoid confirming a breakthrough.
The conflict remains in a delicate holding pattern: no fresh escalation, but no confirmed peace track either. The next signals from Washington and Tehran will determine whether this becomes real progress or another brief pause.
