US President Donald Trump says negotiations with Iran are under way, warning that the talks represent Tehran's 'last chance' to secure a deal to end the five-month conflict. However, Tehran denies holding talks with Washington, saying it is speaking to Oman about the Strait of Hormuz.

Coverage Comparison

Al Jazeera reported the development in two separate live updates. In one, the outlet quoted Trump as saying negotiations with Iran are back on and insisting that Tehran is 'begging' for a deal. In the other, Al Jazeera reported that Trump says talks are under way and that the negotiations are Tehran's 'last chance' to secure a deal.

The two reports present differing characterizations of Tehran's stance. One report says Iran acknowledges that talks are taking place but says it is in no rush to reach an agreement. The other report says Tehran denies holding talks with Washington, stating instead that it is speaking to Oman about the Strait of Hormuz.
