On Wednesday, the White House confirmed that Iran's original 10-point ceasefire proposal was outright rejected, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt stating it was 'fundamentally unserious' and 'completely discarded.' The US is open to a revised proposal, which is set to be discussed during upcoming negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan. The US delegation will be led by Vice President JD Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff. Despite a two-week ceasefire agreement after 38 days of conflict, both nations claim victory, although significant issues remain unresolved, particularly concerning Iran's missile and nuclear programs. Additionally, tensions are rising in Lebanon, where Israeli airstrikes have intensified, further complicating the ceasefire situation. Leavitt reiterated that the US's core demands, particularly the end of Iranian uranium enrichment, have not changed.
