Speaking to reporters in Washington, Leavitt said the State Department had reported “a little bit of progress” in recent contacts, but added that the sides remain “very far apart on some issues.” She said Iran was expected to return “with some more detail in the next couple of weeks,” and that Trump would monitor the situation. Leavitt also argued there were “many reasons and arguments” for a possible strike on Iran, while saying diplomacy remains Trump’s “first option.”
