The White House has said that talks with Iran were continuing and progressing well, adding that what Tehran says publicly differs from what it tells US officials in private, Reuters reports.

“Despite all of the public posturing you hear from the regime and false reporting, talks are continuing and going well. What is said publicly is, of course, much different than what’s being communicated to us privately,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has said at a press briefing.
