Overview
- The president, in a Truth Social post late Wednesday, accused CNN and The New York Times of pushing a “totally FAKE TEN POINT PLAN” and called the outlets “EVIL LOSERS.”
- CNN and the Times reported on a list posted by Iran’s embassy in India that claimed the U.S. accepted terms like nuclear enrichment, compensation to Iran, an end to UN resolutions, and Iranian control of the Strait of Hormuz.
- White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the initial Iranian list was a “wish list” the president “threw in the garbage” and she called the reporting inaccurate.
- Vice President J.D. Vance said the first list was likely AI-generated, described a second 10-point draft shaped through talks with Pakistani intermediaries as the one under review, and noted an even more maximalist version also surfaced online.
- Negotiations are expected in Islamabad during a fragile ceasefire, and confusion over which text is real could slow talks on core issues such as nuclear terms and control of key waterways.
