A fierce rebuke erupted from the White House, aimed directly at what officials are calling a deliberate distortion of facts surrounding ongoing negotiations with Iran. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully condemned media outlets for propagating what she described as Iranian regime propaganda, specifically concerning a purported agreement based on a “10-point plan.”
The controversy centers on claims that President Trump had, in some way, accepted Iran’s proposed list of demands. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung responded with scathing directness to reports he deemed “fake news,” issuing a blunt challenge to those spreading the misinformation.
President Trump himself initiated a full federal investigation earlier in the day, targeting the sudden influx of fabricated “agreements” and documents circulating from individuals with no legitimate role in the actual negotiations. He characterized these sources as “fraudsters and charlatans.”
Leavitt clarified the situation with unwavering certainty, stating that the Iranian “10-point plan” was immediately dismissed as unserious and unacceptable. She emphasized that the proposal was, in her words, “literally thrown in the garbage” by President Trump and his team, directly contradicting reports suggesting otherwise.
The core of the dispute lies in America’s unwavering stance on Iranian enrichment. Leavitt underscored that President Trump’s red lines remain unchanged, and the notion of accepting an Iranian “wish list” as a legitimate deal is entirely unfounded.
The President, Leavitt explained, will only pursue an agreement that demonstrably benefits the United States. Negotiations are expected to continue behind closed doors for the next two weeks, contingent upon the continued free passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
A strong warning was issued to the media, urging restraint and accuracy in reporting. Leavitt cautioned that public statements from Iran often differ significantly from their private communications with the U.S. negotiating team, emphasizing the need for critical evaluation of information.
Leavitt concluded with a resolute affirmation of President Trump’s negotiating prowess, highlighting his proven ability to secure favorable outcomes for the United States. She asserted that he will remain steadfast in prioritizing American interests throughout the process.
