Reports that the White House has requested a ceasefire in the Iran war are wrong, press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Wednesday, but added that discussions about a second round of talks with the Iranians were ongoing and productive.

Speaking at a White House press briefing, Leavitt said any fresh talks would likely be in Pakistan again, as it has emerged as the “only mediator” in the effort to end the US-Israeli war on Iran.

“These conversations are productive and ongoing, and that’s where we are right now. I’ve also seen some reporting about the potential for in-person discussions. Again, those discussions are being had, but nothing is official until you hear it from us here at the White House, but we feel good about the prospects of a deal,” Leavitt said. –Agencies
