Iran Claims Progress on US Deal; White House Calls Reports ‘Completely Fabricated’

WASHINGTON / TEHRAN — The White House has flatly rejected reports circulated by Iranian state media claiming that Washington and Tehran are making progress toward a potential peace agreement, calling the accounts “completely fabricated.”
A White House spokesperson issued a firm denial, stating that no such developments have taken place and that the Iranian reports bear no resemblance to reality. Officials emphasized that any characterization of ongoing negotiations leading to an imminent deal is entirely false and misleading.
Iranian state media had alleged that indirect diplomatic channels between the two nations were yielding results, fueling speculation internationally about a possible thaw in decades-long hostilities.
The stark contradiction between Iranian claims and the American denial has drawn significant attention from the international community, as tensions in the wider Middle East region remain elevated.
Analysts warn that conflicting narratives from both sides risk deepening mistrust and complicating any future diplomatic outreach.
