two things can be true 1) we are seeing conflicting headlines daily about the US and Iran negotiating for a potential peace deal 2) these “potential peace talks” aren’t getting leaked for no reason so, Iran is denying all of them for various strategic reasons (more volatility = worse for Trump) but the sheer number of reports around some type of potential peace deal indicates that there absolutely has been dialogue, even if not formally, and the people leaking it to the media want everyone to know that an offramp is possible it feels like Trump wants to end this sooner than later.
