US says Iran seeking 'exit ramp' despite mixed ceasefire signals

The White House has indicated that ceasefire talks with Iran are continuing, despite conflicting reports regarding Tehran's response to a 15-point proposal aimed at ending the current conflict. National Security Council spokespeople stated that the administration believes Iran is looking for an 'exit ramp' to de-escalate the situation. While some reports suggested that Iran had rejected the proposal, the White House maintains that the diplomatic channel remains open and that the talks have not stalled. The situation remains fluid as both sides navigate the complex 15-point framework intended to halt hostilities.
