Iran-US war latest: Trump denies offering Tehran sanctions relief to rein in its nuclear programme
Trump insists US will win its war in Iran ‘very soon’ as mediators hold fresh round of peace talks in New York
What the coverage shows
Most outlets focus on Trump’s rejection of Iran’s proposal and frame the story around whether indirect talks can continue, with Reuters, Axios, NPR, the New York Times, BBC News and the Washington Post all emphasizing the rejected Hormuz plan and the prospect of more negotiations. Axios is alone in saying Trump then told it he expects talks this week, while the Washington Post is the only outlet here to foreground hostile rhetoric on both sides. The Guardian and several others do not match the event wording at all, instead leading on unrelated Trump-Xi summit coverage.
