US President Donald Trump claimed that the US is “doing very well with Iran” as indirect negotiations with Tehran are ongoing, while speaking to reporters outside the White House on Friday.
“We are doing very well with Iran. We're talking to Iran. We have been. We haven't lost a soldier in seven months or six months. We have the Hormuz Strait opening,” he said.

The article repeats Trump's claim that the US has not lost a soldier and is "doing very well with Iran" without saying that the US carried out strikes on Iran's Qeshm island only days earlier, during what other coverage calls a war with Iran. Without it a reader may believe US dealings with Iran currently consist only of talks.

Trump's line "We have the Hormuz Strait opening" stands with no Iranian account. Other coverage reports an Iranian official saying Hormuz will reopen only if Tehran's conditions are met, including ending the US naval blockade and waiving oil sanctions. Without it a reader may take the reopening as settled.

Iran is reportedly reviewing proposals, presented by mediators in Qatar, regarding a potential deal with the US, according to a _New York Times_ report on Thursday.
Trump’s Friday comments came shortly after the US Treasury Department announced that it had added eight Canada-based businesses to its Specially Designated List accused of enabling and facilitating currency exchanges with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
