White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest says that the US will keep details of negotiations with Iran quiet, “particularly when we see there is a continued practice of cherry-picking specific pieces of information and using them out of context to distort the negotiating position of the United States.”

He adds that Israel might have the greatest insight and the most at stake from all the countries not present at negotiations.

Still, says Earnest, “there’s no question that some of the things the Israelis have said in characterizing our negotiating position have not been accurate. There’s no question about that.”
