> A series of U-turns, posturing, denials and displays of military power have made the status of US-Iran negotiations difficult to determine. US President Donald Trump says talks are underway. Tehran denies that any negotiations have been planned, while saying it is engaged in discussions with Oman. The conflicting accounts leave open the question of whether the negotiations have made any real progress. The situation remains unclear despite the competing claims.
