President Donald Trump said that talks with Iran—both direct and indirect—are ongoing and making “very good” progress, and urged Tehran to take the deal or face destruction of its critical infrastructure, with a spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry denying negotiations are taking place.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on March 29, Trump signaled his conviction that diplomacy is gathering pace alongside ongoing military operations that the president said has already led to “regime change” in Tehran.
