U.S. Claims About Negotiations
An American official emphasized in discussions with the media that positive negotiations are ongoing through intermediaries and also referred to Donald Trump's willingness to reduce sanctions and release Iran's frozen assets in exchange for tangible progress in the nuclear file.
