What happened

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned against trusting media reports on negotiations with the US until official results are announced.

Why it matters

"Negotiations and exchanges of messages continue, and until a tangible result is achieved, it is premature to draw any conclusions.

Common ground

Everything being said at this point is merely speculative, and people should not give it much weight until the information is officially and definitively confirmed," he told Iran's state broadcaster.

Perspective signals

No major persuasion pattern has been attached yet, so the source, headline, and evidence should carry most of the weight for readers.
