(Central News Agency, Washington, 22nd, Comprehensive Foreign Report) The White House said today that US President Trump has not set a deadline for Iran to submit a peace proposal, adding that Trump does not consider Iran's seizure of international vessels a violation of the ceasefire agreement because these vessels do not belong to the United States or Israel.
Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported that White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters: "The president has not set a strict deadline for Iran to submit a peace proposal, contrary to some reports I saw today. The timeline will ultimately be decided by the president."
The White House also stated today that Trump does not view Iran's move to seize two vessels as a breach of the ceasefire agreement, as these ships are not owned by the US or Israel.
In an interview with Fox News, when asked if Trump believed this action violated the US-Iran ceasefire agreement, Leavitt said Iran did not violate the ceasefire "because these are not American ships, nor Israeli ships, but rather two international vessels." (Compiler: Liu Wen-yu) 1150423
