White House Insists U.S. and Iran Still in Negotiations, Warns Iran "Do Not Miscalculate"

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a press briefing on the 25th that negotiations between the United States and Iran are still ongoing, and warned Iran “not to misjudge the situation again.”

When asked about Iran’s rejection of the 15-point plan proposed by the U.S. to end the conflict, Jean-Pierre stated that “talks are still ongoing,” but she was unwilling to disclose specific details of the negotiations, adding that the White House has never confirmed the “full plan,” and some media reports are not entirely accurate.

Regarding reports that the U.S. and Iran might hold talks later this week in Pakistan, Jean-Pierre did not confirm, saying “any information before an official announcement from the White House should not be considered definitive.”

Jean-Pierre warned that Iran should “face reality” and “not misjudge the situation again,” urging Iran to seize the “last opportunity” to cooperate with the U.S.

According to U.S. media reports on the 24th, the U.S. has delivered a plan containing 15 key points aimed at ending the conflict to Iran through Pakistan. Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian said in an interview with national television on the 25th that over the past few days, the U.S. has conveyed proposals to Iran about ending the war through several friendly countries. Iran’s top leadership is studying these proposals, but this “communication of information” through mediators does not mean negotiations with the U.S.
