War: US never requested ceasefire extension – White House

The White House has denied reports making the rounds that the United States has formally requested ceasefire extension with Iran.

White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, made the denial on Wednesday during a press briefing.

“At this moment, we remain very much engaged in these negotiations, in these talks,” Leavitt said.

According to her, the White House feels good about the prospects of reaching a deal with Iran.

She equally disclosed that future negotiations can be expected to take place in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.

Leavitt commended the Pakistanis for their role in serving as a mediator between the U.S. and Iran.

“They would very likely be in the same place as they were last time, yes,” she added.
