White House says Iran ceasefire does not have a ‘firm deadline’

Published Updated



White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt denied on Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s extension of the Iran war ceasefire would last only three to five days.

“The president has not set a firm deadline to receive an Iranian proposal, unlike some of the reporting I’ve seen today,” Leavitt told the press. “Ultimately, the timeline will be dictated by the commander-in-chief and the president of the United States.”
