U.S. President Donald Trump said on March 23 that Washington and Tehran had reached “major points of agreement” in talks to end the war, even as Iranian officials denied negotiations and voiced skepticism.

Speaking to reporters before departing Florida for Memphis, Trump said discussions held over the past two days had been “very, very strong” and suggested that a breakthrough could be imminent.
