Donald Trump has made a dramatic claim during a White House cabinet meeting, asserting that Iran is “begging” to make a deal amid the ongoing conflict. Dismissing reports by outlets like The Wall Street Journal as “fake news,” Trump insisted that Washington is not seeking negotiations, but rather Tehran is pushing for an agreement. His remarks come at a time of heightened tensions and conflicting narratives around possible diplomatic efforts. While the US signals strength, Iran has publicly denied active negotiations, highlighting a widening gap between rhetoric and reality in the escalating Middle East crisis.
