White House Warns Iran of Fiercer Strikes if It Does Not Concede Defeat, Says Never Confirmed Media Reports of 15-Point Plan

Goldfinch Finance reports that on March 26, White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre stated that if Tehran does not acknowledge that the country has been “militarily defeated,” President Trump will impose harsher sanctions on Iran. Jean-Pierre said that negotiations with Iran are still ongoing. She added, “Negotiations are still ongoing. As the President said on Monday, the talks are productive, and that remains the case.” On Tuesday, multiple media outlets citing sources reported that Washington had submitted a 15-point plan to Tehran to end the war. Jean-Pierre stated on Wednesday that some of these reports are not entirely accurate, but she did not provide specific details. She said, “The White House has never confirmed the full plan. Some parts are indeed true, but some reports I’ve read do not fully align with the facts, so I will not negotiate on behalf of the President here or at this podium.”
