Trump says Iran ‘means business’ in peace talks as Tehran officials deny negotiations.
Trump didn’t clarify who has been involved in the talks but Iran’s parliament speaker and foreign minister denied any such negotiations have happened.
We’re ending our live coverage of day 24 of the war in Iran now, a day which saw mixed messages about the status of alleged peace talks to bring an end to the conflict.

US President Donald Trump claimed his administration has been negotiating with Iran “for a long time” and believes a deal is close, saying Iran “means business.”
But those claims were contradicted by Tehran, with both the foreign office and the parliament speaker denying any such negotiations had ever taken place.
Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf dismissed the reports as fake news to “manipulate the financial and oil markets.”
The price for a barrel of Brent crude fell 10% to $100.96 (€86.96), down from nearly $120 (€103) last week, after Trump said the US and Iran had held productive talks “regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.”

The S&P 500 rose 1.5% toward its best day since the war began on 28 February.
Meanwhile, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that attacks on Iran and Lebanon would continue, with Monday ending with fresh air strikes on Hezbollah positions in southern Beirut.
“There’s more to come. We will protect our vital interests in any situation,” Netanyahu said.
