Iranian officials have publicly rejected claims attributed to an anonymous US official who told Axios and Al Jazeera that a deal with Iran was within reach. Citing an official, commentator B. Erickson writes that Tehran says no agreement is possible until its next major escalation, and accuses the anonymous US source of misleading reporters to influence energy markets. The episode is fueling debate over US messaging on Iran's nuclear program.

Why now: Tensions over Iran's nuclear program and possible US-Iran talks are escalating, with conflicting claims about whether a deal is being negotiated.
