White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that reports of a formal ceasefire extension request by the US are false. She emphasized that negotiations with Iran are ongoing and productive, with the next round of talks likely to occur in Pakistan, which serves as the sole mediator. The discussions focus on Iran's nuclear program, with the US seeking a 20-year suspension of uranium enrichment, while Iran has proposed a five-year halt, which US officials have rejected. Leavitt noted that the US President has made clear demands in the negotiations, and both sides are exploring the potential for a deal. US Vice President JD Vance highlighted that President Donald Trump has indicated a willingness to support Iran's economic growth if it commits to not pursuing nuclear weapons. The situation remains complex, with Iran asserting that its nuclear program is intended for civilian use.
