Leavitt denies reporting US is seeking extended ceasefire with Iran

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt denied reports on Wednesday that the U.S. is seeking an extended ceasefire with Iran. Leavitt stated that such reporting was "not true at this moment" and characterized it as "bad reporting." Her comments clarify the Trump administration's stance amid ongoing negotiations regarding the current ceasefire. The denial indicates that the U.S. has not formally requested an extension, despite being "very much engaged" in the discussions. This suggests the administration's current focus remains on the existing ceasefire terms rather than an immediate extension.
