White House says U.S. working on modified plan ahead of talks with Iran, Trump

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has dismissed any suggestion that U.S. President Donald Trump simply accepted all of Iran’s demands by agreeing to the ceasefire.

The Iranians, she said at a press conference, originally put forward a 10-point plan that was “literally thrown in the garbage by President Trump and his negotiating team.”

Many outlets, she said, have reported that initial proposal as being acceptable to the president and those reports are “false.”

As Tuesday’s 8 p.m. deadline neared, the Iranian regime “acknowledged reality” and put forward a “more reasonable and entirely different” plan, she said. The president and his team determined the new, modified plan was workable to negotiate from and align with the White House’s 15-point plan, she said, according to CBS News.

“The president’s red lines, namely the end of Iranian enrichment in Iran, have not changed, and the idea that President Trump would ever accept an Iranian wishlist as a deal is completely absurd,” she said. 

Still, Leavitt didn’t say what 10 points the Iranians presented that the president ultimately accepted as largely reasonable. She simply said Iran has agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz. 

Leavitt said Vice President JD Vance will lead talks with Iran in Islamabad, with the first round of discussions set for Saturday morning local time. 

Special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, will also be part of the negotiating team, Leavitt said.
