Leavitt acknowledged elements of truth in some reports but warned that many stories are not fully factual.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian officials have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-education-secretary-confirmed-asks-america-to-reimagine-education\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s Education Secretary ...ed, Asks America To \u2018Reimagine Education\u2019\">offered mixed signals<\/a>. Some Iranian outlets suggested the proposal was excessive and that peace would come only on Tehran\u2019s terms, leading Tehran to be described by some sources as having rejected the plan. Leavitt denied that Iran had left the talks, saying negotiations are ongoing and constructive, with Trump granting diplomats the freedom to pursue sensitive discussions without media scrutiny. The article also notes uncertainty about the identities of Iranian negotiators and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-outlines-new-demands-for-gordie-howe-bridge-to-carney\/\" title=\"... outlines new demands for Gordie Howe Bridge to Carney\">mentions related coverage<\/a> about Iranian leadership, internal politics, and attempts to influence public perception abroad.<\/p>\n<p>the piece portrays an ongoing, opaque negotiation process between the U.S. and Iran, characterized by disputed reports, cautious official messaging, and competing narratives about Iran\u2019s response.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">White House disputes reports of &rsquo;15-point plan&rsquo; and refuses to explain &lsquo;nitty gritty details&rsquo; of Iran negotiations<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2543196\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The White House is refusing to provide details on the negotiations being conducted between the United States and <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/iran\/\">Iran<\/a>, claiming the &ldquo;sensitive diplomatic discussions&rdquo; would be harmed by press speculation.<\/p>\n<p>White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, speaking to reporters at a <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4502908\/watch-live-karoline-leavitt-press-briefing-iran-war-dhs-shutdown\/\">Wednesday press conference<\/a>, cast doubt on media reports of President Donald Trump&rsquo;s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/4503087\/iran-rejects-us-deal-troops-middle-east\/\">15-point plan for peace<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/foreign-policy\/4503730\/trump-netanyahu-imminent-peace-iran\/\">Trump and Netanyahu&#8217;s rhetoric about imminent peace with Iran may not be what it seems<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4503184\/keir-starmer-nigel-farage-reform-mps-storm-out\/\">Keir Starmer-Nigel Farage blow-up in Parliament ends with Reform MPs storming out<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4502881\/danish-prime-minister-mette-frederiksen-resigns\/\">Danish prime minister resigns after lackluster election for Social Democrats, Moderates seek to wield power<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;I saw a 15-point plan that was floated in the media &mdash; I would caution reporters in this room from reporting about speculative points or speculative plans from anonymous sources,&rdquo; the press secretary said. &ldquo;The White House never confirmed that full plan.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Reporters raise their hands to ask questions as White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt speaks with reporters in the James Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House, Wednesday, March 25, 2026, in Washington.
