“Those would be the first in-person negotiations since the war began.”
DISPUTED
The 2026 Iran war entry confirms hostilities began on February 28, 2026, but negotiations mentioned in Wikipedia occurred in April 2025—before the war began. This directly contradicts the claim that these were the first negotiations since the war started.
