Asked about whether Iran has rejected a 15-point peace proposal from the US, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has replied that talks continue and are “productive”.

“I saw a 15-point plan that was floated in the media; I would caution reporters in this room from reporting on speculative plans from anonymous sources,” she adds. “The White House never confirmed that full plan. There are elements of truth to it, but some of the stories I read are not entirely factual.”
