3.(SOUNDBITE)(English) U.S. PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYING:
"We have had very, very strong talks, we'll see where they lead. We have major points of agreement, I would say almost all points of agreement. Perhaps that hasn't been conveyed. The communication, as you know, has been blown to pieces. They're unable to talk to each other. But we've had very strong talks, Mr. Witkoff and... Mr. Kushner had them. They went, I would say, perfectly."

But Trump wouldn’t or couldn't reveal who's speaking for Iran.

TRUMP: "A top person - don't forget, we've wiped out the leadership phase one, phase two, and largely phase three. But we're dealing with the man who I believe is the most respected and the leader. You know, it's a little tough. They've wiped out, we've wiped out everybody."

Iran however denies Trump's claims that talks - direct or indirect - are taking place. Iran's parliamentary speaker has called it fake news that Trump is using to manipulate the financial and oil markets. Meanwhile other observers are say Trump could be talking up negotiations in order to buy time to move more troops and military equipment into the region.
