White House rejects media diplomacy on Iran talks
The United States will not negotiate through the press and remains firm on its red lines in dealings with Iran, a White House spokeswoman said.
“The United States will not negotiate through the press — we have been clear about our red lines and the president will only make a deal that’s good for the American people and the world,” Olivia Wales said.
Her comments came as US officials reviewed Iran’s latest proposal related to reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ending the war, according to a New York Times report.
The report also cited US officials as saying that Iran’s leadership has not authorized its negotiators to make concessions on the country’s nuclear program, complicating efforts to reach a compromise or broader peace deal.
