Donald Trump has insisted the US is negotiating with Iran over an end to the war, but Tehran has repeatedly said talks are not taking place.
Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi admitted messages have been exchanged, but said these constituted "neither dialogue nor negotiation, nor anything of the sort".
Trump claimed on Wednesday that Iran is "afraid" to admit to talks "because they figure they’ll be killed by their own people".
The signs are that we are now entering into a situation not dissimilar to the logjam over ending the Russia-Ukraine war. Both sides say they want it to finish, but on their terms.
