Leavitt: The US is very close to meeting its objectives in Iran

  • Comments from the White House press secretary

  • US military is ahead of schedule in its operation
  • Iranian regime is looking for an exit ramp
  • Iran wants to talk, Trump is willing to listen
  • Iran's missile and drone attacks have declined
  • US has been in productive talks in the past three days
  • Trump doesn't not bluff, Iran should not miscalculate
  • Trump to unleash hell if Iran doesn't admit defeat
  • Reiterates a 4-6 week timeline for operations

The possibility here is that Iran's negotiators are offering a much different deal in private than in public.

The line that "Iran wants to talk and Trump is ready to listen" is a tough one to swallow given that it's pretty obvious that the US is the party that's pushing for talks. I don't know if that invalidates anything else she said but there was a brief 10 point spike spoos on this that immediately faded.

Best in 2026
