US, Iran said to have been in direct contact recently

 US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff ⁠and ‌Iranian Foreign Minister ⁠Abbas Araghchi have been in contact via text messages in recent days, Axios ‌reported ​on Monday, citing a US ​official ​and ​a source with ​knowledge of the matter.

Though it's unclear how important the conversations were, the messages are believed to be the first direct communication between the parties since the war began more than two weeks ago.

According to the sources, Araghchi texted Witkoff about ending the war, but the US was "not talking" to Iran. US President Donald Trump previously stated that Iran had reached out to the US, but it was unclear whether the Iranian authorities engaged were authorized to reach an agreement.
