Using triumphant phrases, Leavitt praised the ceasefire as “a victory for the United States of America” and talked as if the U.S. military’s operation in Iran was now completed. Iran has not yet agreed to stop building ballistic missiles or arming proxy forces, and it has not abandoned its plans to develop nuclear weapons, all of which Trump previously laid out as goals of his military operation.
Whether both sides are going off that framework was unclear Wednesday, as Leavitt said the U.S. had rejected Iran’s initial 10-point proposal. She said Iran then delivered another set of proposals closer to the deadline that were “more reasonable and entirely different.” President Trump determined that the modified proposal was a “workable basis on which to negotiate,” she said. Leavitt stressed that comments Iran makes publicly are different from what is said to American negotiators behind closed doors, suggesting that the true state of negotiations were far different from the details known publicly.
Trump has demanded Iran reopen the strait to traffic and suggested on his social media account that the U.S. and Iran should jointly charge tolls for passage through the Strait. During Wednesday’s briefing, Leavitt said that was an idea the president has “floated,” but said Trump ultimately wants the sea route open ”without any limitations, like tolls or otherwise.”
The U.S. has severely weakened Iran’s military, Leavitt said, running down a list of damage U.S. bombardments did to Iranian stockpiles. Iran’s ability to build and store ballistic missiles has been “set back years,” she said. The U.S. launched 450 strikes against ballistic missile facilities and 800 strikes against Iran’s drone launching facilities. Iranians submarine fleet and 150 navy vessels were destroyed, as well as stores of 5,000 naval mines.
