Apple News Today · Trump touts big diplomatic wins. Here’s where things stand. · 25 Mar 2026 podcast

Signals from the White House about an end to the war in Iran have decisively shifted in recent days.

President Trump has moved from saying this last Friday.

to saying this yesterday.

It's been a whirlwind of claims, counterclaims, and apparent diplomatic activity over the past 48 hours.

Yesterday, Trump said that talks with Iran are ongoing and that the U.S.

and Tehran have, quote, major points of agreement.

He told reporters that he received a, quote, very significant prize from Iran, but didn't offer many details except that it was oil and gas related.

Multiple outlets also reported that the administration has sent a 15-point plan to Tehran to end the war.

The Wall Street Journal says it calls on Iran to dismantle its main nuclear sites, end enrichment of uranium, and suspend its ballistic missile work.

And of course, Iran would need to open the Strait of Hormuz.

In return, the U.S.

would lift some sanctions and assist a civilian nuclear program.

Trump said yesterday that Iran badly wants a deal, but as The Guardian notes, these plans sound very similar to ones rejected a year ago.

Adding to the confusion, Iran has denied Trump's claims of diplomatic talks as fake news.

As Reuters' Humeyra Pamuk told us, reporters have been trying to figure out if discussions were even happening, and if so, how.

One country seen as a neutral player with strong links to both sides has emerged as a possible peace broker.

Pakistan's prime minister said on X his country stands ready to host face-to-face talks between the two sides, a post Trump shared on his social media.

Pamuk told us that a key question for potential talks is how close U.S.

and Israeli objectives align.

Trump has retreated from his original goal of regime change in Iran, suggesting that remaining Iranian representatives were behaving differently than their predecessors.
