"Leavitt cautioned reporters to take Iranian media statements with skepticism, stating, 'What we've seen is what they say publicly is much different than what they concede to the United States and our negotiating team privately.'"
"She added, 'I've said that repeatedly to all of you in the news media and you should take our word for it,' emphasizing the importance of discerning the truth behind Iranian rhetoric."
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt urged skepticism towards Iranian state media reports mocking President Trump regarding the ceasefire extension. She emphasized that public statements from Iran often differ from private communications with the U.S. negotiating team. Trump had declared an indefinite ceasefire extension, despite stating he did not want to prolong it. Leavitt also criticized mainstream media for exaggerating incidents like Iran's attacks on cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting a need for more measured reporting.
