news.rambler.ru (Russian) —

US President Donald Trump confirmed new US-Iran contacts through intermediaries, answering affirmatively to reporters at the White House, but declined to assess the results of the consultations. Trump said "yes, they did" when asked if American and Iranian sides had been in touch recently, and confirmed the contact was mediated. He offered no evaluation of the talks' outcomes. Earlier, US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz said Washington rejected Iran's ceasefire proposal as Tehran's negotiators "demanded everything at once." Russian President Vladimir Putin had welcomed a US-Iran ceasefire memorandum, but the truce proved fragile.
