> U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that talks with Iran were already underway. He described the discussions as Tehran’s “last chance” to bring the five-month-old war to an end. Iran rejected that account, saying no negotiations were being held or planned. The statements leave the two sides sharply divided over whether any dialogue exists.
