Karoline Leavitt faced pointed questions at the White House after she was unable to say who, specifically, the United States is negotiating with in Iran. The tense exchange came as President Donald Trump said he would extend a ceasefire indefinitely while waiting for what he called a unified proposal from Iranian leaders.
Speaking to reporters on the White House lawn, the press secretary was asked who was in charge in Iran and who the administration was negotiating with. Rather than naming an official or institution, Leavitt said, 'Well, we obviously know who we're negotiating with because our negotiating team has sat down with those individuals in person. But obviously, there's a lot of internal friction and internal division, which, again, just proves the effectiveness of Operation Epic Fury in the first place'.
