At the same time, the press secretary denied information about an allegedly set three-day or five-day deadline for extending the ceasefire, emphasizing that such reports "are not true."
US position on Iran
Leavitt noted that the US expects a unified position from the Iranian leadership regarding possible agreements. According to her, conflicting signals are currently coming from Tehran.
Many different messages are coming from Iranian leaders, which are public nonsense and differ from the private tone
She also added that American intelligence has a sufficient understanding of the situation, but Washington wants to see a coordinated response from Iran.
Truce and pressure on Iran
Leavitt confirmed that the ceasefire, which Trump had previously extended, has no defined end date. At the same time, economic pressure on Iran continues. In particular, according to her, the US continues economic measures, including a naval blockade, which has effectively stopped Iranian oil exports.

She also noted that Trump is "satisfied" with the effect of the naval blockade and believes that Iran is in a weak position.
