Trump says peace talks with Iran are on. Tehran denies it

This morning, new drone attacks are adding to the uncertainty over whether the United States and Iran are even talking peace

Local sources say Iranian-backed armed factions attempted overnight drone strikes targeting the U.S. military base known as Tower 22 near the Syrian-Jordanian border

Jordan's state news agency says its military shot down a drone that breached the country's airspace early this morning

while Israel says it also intercepted an unmanned aircraft near the Jordanian border

The attacks come as President Trump says the U.S. and Iran are holding talks

but he also told reporters he is prepared to take action if those efforts break down

We're having good talks, so we'll see what happens. I think there's a good chance that something could happen, and if it does good

if it doesn't, we go back to doing what we were doing two days ago. Iran disputes Trump's account

The country's deputy foreign minister said that Iran has not requested new talks and rejected a U.S. proposal to meet
