Trump Denies Offering Iran Sanctions Relief Amid Ongoing Diplomatic Talks
US President Donald Trump denied reports by Axios and other outlets claiming he offered Iran sanctions relief and the release of frozen funds in exchange for concrete steps on Tehran's nuclear program. Trump called the reports a "hoax" and demanded their retraction. The denials came amid ongoing diplomatic efforts involving US and Iranian officials and mediators from Qatar and Pakistan, with talks continuing on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was reported to have met with mediators in New York, though no direct US-Iran talks were confirmed.
