... No new negotiations planned despite Trump comments, U.S. officials tell CBS News

Despite President Trump's comments last night that negotiations with Iran are set to begin on Monday afternoon, U.S. officials have told CBS News that there are no "new" or novel negotiations planned -- just the ongoing talks between Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner and the U.S. negotiating team with the Iranian team, through mediators.

Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said at a press conference Monday that Tehran had no plans to hold direct talks with Washington, after Mr. Trump's claim that a "deal is imminent."
