The latest round of talks between the United States and Iran happened on the night of March 22 and involved US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushener, Fox News reported on Monday, citing President Donald Trump.
The president reportedly responded to a question on his thoughts about Iran’s state television denying ongoing negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
Earlier in the day, Trump said that the United States and Iran had very positive and productive talks over the past two days and announced the postponement of US strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure. The president also expressed hope that the progress will be achieved within five days, a CNBC journalist reported after an interview with the president.
Türkiye, Egypt and Pakistan have been mediating the indirect negotiations between the United States and Iran over the past two days, Axios further reported on Monday.
“The mediation is ongoing and making progress. The discussion is about ending the war and resolving all outstanding issues. We hope to have answers soon,” the source told Axios.
Senior Turkish, Egyptian and Pakistani officials reportedly held separate discussions with US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
