US and Iran Clash Over War Talks: Whose Narrative Holds Up?

Washington may be using talk of negotiations to calm oil markets and gain time for military reinforcements. Tehran warns that such reports are "fake news" designed to weaken its resolve. Both sides have clear incentives. The US faces rising petrol prices and political pressure ahead of elections. Iran seeks to punish Western economies as a deterrent to future attacks. Observers say strategic aims shape each narrative. Public statements alone reveal little about real talks or a genuine path to peace.
