An Egyptian official told AP that Washington and Tehran exchanged messages over the weekend through Egypt, Turkey and Pakistan, aimed at averting strikes on energy infrastructure. Later Monday, a senior Iranian Foreign Ministry official told CBS News Iran had received "points from the U.S. through mediators" that were being reviewed.

The accounts bridged Trump's claim of talks and Tehran's denials, pointing to an indirect channel that Pakistan offered to host the next day.
