On Apr. 8 (local time), White House Spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said at a briefing, "Iran's previous 10-point plan was fundamentally not serious and unacceptable, so President Donald Trump and the negotiating team quite literally threw it in the trash."

Leavitt added, "As the final deadline set by the United States approached, Iran presented a new plan that is more streamlined and realistic, creating a basis on which we can negotiate," and "the negotiations will proceed to align with the existing 15 clauses the United States presented to Iran."

The previous day, Iran's Supreme National Security Council claimed that the United States had fully accepted the 10-clause cease-fire plan Iran presented, but the U.S. denied that as untrue. The 10-clause cease-fire plan Iran claimed reportedly included control over navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, withdrawal of U.S. combat forces from the Middle East, and easing of sanctions on Iran.
