The White House has denied reports suggesting that the United States has requested a ceasefire in the ongoing Iran conflict, saying no such request has been made while confirming that diplomatic talks are continuing.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, speaking at a briefing on Wednesday, said discussions with Iranian representatives remain active and have not been concluded.
She dismissed claims circulating in some reports, noting that while diplomatic engagements are ongoing, no formal agreement or announcement has been made.
“These discussions are ongoing, and nothing is official until you hear it from us here at the White House,” Leavitt said.
She added that the talks have been “productive,” but stressed that details regarding any future meetings remain under consideration.
Reports had indicated that a possible second round of discussions could involve regional diplomatic channels, with Pakistan mentioned in some accounts as a potential host or facilitator.
However, the White House did not confirm any specific location.
The development comes amid continued diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions and exploring potential pathways toward de-escalation.
The United States has maintained that discussions remain the preferred route for addressing the situation, even as uncertainties persist over the next stage of engagement.
