Iran has launched fresh waves of missile strikes on Israel despite U.S. assertions that diplomatic talks are underway to de-escalate rising tensions. The attacks come as Washington signals progress in discussions, while Tehran firmly denies that any negotiations—direct or indirect—are taking place.

U.S. President Donald Trump has described communications with Iranian officials as “productive,” suggesting efforts are ongoing to pause further escalation. Iranian authorities, however, have rejected those claims, calling them false and accusing the U.S. of attempting to influence global perception.

Missiles have struck multiple areas in Israel, including Tel Aviv, triggering air raid alerts and causing damage in urban centers. The continued strikes highlight the widening gap between diplomatic claims and battlefield developments, with no confirmed agreement between the two sides.
