Revitt, White House Spokesperson, Briefing [AP=Yonhap News] 

The White House stated on the 25th (local time) that negotiations with Iran are continuing to end the conflict.

It also warned of stronger strikes if Iran does not acknowledge its military defeat.

White House Spokesperson Caroline Revitt said at a briefing on the same day, "What I can say is that negotiations are underway," adding, "For now, I will not disclose specific details of the negotiations exchanged between the United States and Iran."

President Trump announced on the 23rd that he was in peace talks with Iran and that Iran had agreed to key issues such as abandoning nuclear weapons. However, the Iranian regime and military have denied being in negotiations with the United States.

Subsequently, US media reported that the US had delivered a peace proposal containing 15 points to the Iranian side through mediator Pakistan, and Iranian media followed up with reports of Iran's negative reaction to this.

However, Revitt stated that the Iranian side had conveyed its desire for dialogue on the evening of the 21st, and productive discussions are ongoing.

Revitt did say, however, that while some of the 15-point peace proposal reported in the media was correct, much of it was inaccurate.

Regarding the identity of the Iranian negotiator, she stated it was a "very sensitive diplomatic discussion matter" and did not disclose it.

Concerning the possibility of face-to-face negotiations between the US and Iranian delegations, she said, "There is a lot of speculation and reporting about potential meetings that could occur later this week, but nothing is official until the White House makes an official announcement."

Revitt stated, "We are very close to achieving the core objectives of the 'Epic Fury' operation (US military operation against Iran)," adding, "Our military operations are yielding results day by day, and we are consistently degrading Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping."

Specifically, she explained that since the operation began on the 28th of last month, over 9,000 targets have been struck, more than 140 naval vessels destroyed, and Iran's ballistic missile and drone attack capabilities have been reduced by approximately 90% compared to the initial stage.

She added, "Iran recognizes that they are collapsing, and that is precisely why Iran has begun to seek an escape route."

Revitt said, "President Trump always prioritizes peace. There is no need for further death and destruction," adding, "If Iran does not understand that they have been militarily defeated and will continue to be defeated, President Trump will inflict greater damage on them than ever before."

She continued, "President Trump is not bluffing and is prepared to unleash hell. Iran must not make that mistake again."

Revitt virtually viewed the significant number of Iranian leaders killed during the military operation against Iran as a de facto regime change, stating, "President Trump believes that it would be preferable for the US to have a successor who is more friendly and willing to cooperate with the Iranian regime's leadership and who no longer chants 'Death to America'."
