State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller flatly denies a report that the US and Arab states have launched covert talks with Iran for a comprehensive ceasefire aimed at calming all Mideast war fronts at once.
“No one has reached out to the United States about such a proposal, and we’re not in talks with any countries about such a proposal,” Miller says regarding yesterday’s Channel 12 news report.
“I cannot speak to a hypothetical proposal that I’m not even sure actually exists in reality,” Miller says. “Obviously, we would welcome the end of conflict across the region.”
