White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed questions Wednesday regarding ongoing ceasefire negotiations between the United States and Iran, while also criticizing certain media outlets for their coverage of Iranian diplomatic proposals.

During the press briefing, Leavitt provided details about upcoming negotiations between the two countries scheduled to take place this weekend in Islamabad, Pakistan. She indicated that Vice President-elect JD Vance will lead the U.S. negotiating team for these discussions.

Leavitt also used the briefing to rebuke media outlets for their reporting on Iran's publicly released 10-point plan, stating that news organizations were incorrectly characterizing the Iranian proposals as acceptable to the United States.

The press secretary's comments come amid heightened diplomatic activity between Washington and Tehran, with Pakistan serving as the venue for the weekend talks. The specific details of the ceasefire agreement and the content of Iran's 10-point plan were not elaborated upon during the briefing.

Following the White House briefing, CBS News correspondent Ed O'Keefe provided additional analysis and context regarding the diplomatic developments between the two nations.
