Trump says Iran talks happening 'continuously'

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the United States and Iran were speaking "continuously", denying reports that Tehran had broken off contact over Israel's attacks on Lebanon.

Trump added that "one never knows" where the negotiations would lead, as weeks of direct and indirect talks have failed to end the US-Israeli war on Iran that began on 28 February.

"Fake News Reports that the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the USA, stopped speaking a few days ago are false and erroneous," Trump said on his Truth Social network.

"The conversations between us have been going on continuously, including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago, and today."

Trump added: "Where they lead, one never knows, but as I told Iran, 'It's time, one way or another, for you to make a Deal. You've been doing this for 47 years, and it cannot be allowed to go on any longer!'"
