Washington, United States – Web Desk: The White House has declined to comment on reports that Iran has presented new proposals to the United States through Pakistan, saying it does not disclose details of private diplomatic engagements.
Responding to a question on the reported development, a White House spokesperson said negotiations are ongoing but emphasized that sensitive diplomatic communications are not made public. The spokesperson added that discussions are aimed at ensuring both short-term and long-term national security interests of the United States.
