White House Blasts Media for "Running with Iranian Demands"

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has sharply criticized major U.S. news organizations. She accused them of incorrectly reporting that Iran’s new public demands are acceptable to the United States. The criticism follows Iranian state media publishing a 10-point plan. This document outlines Iran’s conditions for returning to a nuclear agreement. Jean-Pierre stated that outlets are "running with Iranian narratives." She emphasized the U.S. position has not changed and Iran’s public demands are not considered a serious proposal. The White House insists any return to the 2015 nuclear deal would require direct negotiations. The rebuke highlights ongoing tensions. It also underscores the administration's frustration with how diplomatic messages are reported during sensitive negotiations.
