CNN claim: Iran and America are in secret negotiations.
CNN claimed in the report: Iran and the US are secretly negotiating a sensitive agreement that could prevent a return to full-scale war and pave the way for broader negotiations.
However, Washington tempered hopes of reaching an agreement. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday that "I wouldn't say we are on the verge of a diplomatic opening." Trump also clarified that the military option is still on the agenda.
Trump is expected to meet with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Prime Minister of Qatar, on Monday in Washington/Jamran.
