Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt strongly condemned the dishonest mainstream media for promoting Iranian regime propaganda and falsely asserting that President Donald Trump had accepted Tehran’s absurd 10-point “wish list” as a legitimate deal.
Steven Cheung, Assistant to the President and White House Communications Director, criticized a media outlet for spreading the fake news regarding President Trump’s supposed agreement with Iran and the so-called “10-point plan.”
“You have no idea what the f**k you’re talking about you loser. Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of because you clearly can’t read,” Cheung said in an X post in response to a post from self-described “socialist” and “antifascist” journalist Owen Jones.
In his own X post, Jones laid out the 10-point plan which was published by Iranian state media and had absolutely zero confirmation from independent informed sources.
“Have no doubt: This is the biggest strategic defeat suffered by the US since its emergence as a superpower,” Jones wrote in his post. The White House has repeatedly stated that the Iranian claims are false.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also addressed the information on Wednesday, making it plain that whoever was reporting the Iranian 10-point plan as legitimate in any way, shape, or form was doing a disservice to the American people.
“I’ve seen a lot of inaccurate coverage today from the media about these negotiations and these plans already, so let me be clear and correct the record,” she began. “The Iranians originally put forward a 10-point plan that was fundamentally unserious, unacceptable, and completely discarded.
“It was literally thrown in the garbage by President Trump and his negotiating team. Many outlets in this room have falsely reported on that plan as being acceptable to the United States, and that is false,” she stated.
She added:
The President’s red lines—namely, the end of Iranian enrichment in Iran—have not changed. And the idea that President Trump would ever accept an Iranian wish list as a deal is completely absurd.
The President will only make a deal that serves the best interests of the United States of America, and he and his negotiating team will focus on this effort over the next two weeks—so long as the Strait of Hormuz remains open, with no limitations or delays.
These extraordinarily sensitive and complex negotiations will take place behind closed doors over the course of the next two weeks.
I would strongly advise the media against running with narratives that have no basis in fact. What Iran says publicly—or feeds to all of you in the press—is much different than what they communicate privately to the United States, the President, and his team.
Never underestimate President Trump’s ability to successfully advance America’s interests and broker peace. President Trump has a proven track record of achieving good deals on behalf of the United States and the American people, and he will only accept one that puts America first.
Speaking of absurd, some House Democrats filed articles of impeachment against Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth, which is unprecedented during an ongoing conflict. Dozens more are calling for the president’s removal under the 25th Amendment following escalating tensions with Iran.
The impeachment effort was led by Rep. John Larson, who filed 13 articles accusing Trump of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” The allegations include claims of overstepping congressional war powers, engaging in unlawful military actions, and endangering U.S. national security through foreign policy decisions tied to recent military activity.
Larson’s proposal argues that the president has engaged in what it describes as a pattern of “criminal lawlessness,” including actions in Iran, Venezuela, and international waters. The articles also accuse the administration of improperly using federal authority in domestic law enforcement and immigration enforcement.
Separately, Rep. Yassamin Ansari introduced impeachment articles against Hegseth, accusing the defense secretary of violating his oath of office through military actions tied to the Iran conflict.
