“Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal,” Trump wrote on Truth social, adding “we will have PEACE soon, between Israel and Iran” and that “many calls and meetings” are taking place, though Trump did not offer specifics about the talks.
Trump referred to recent peace talks brokered by the U.S. between India and Pakistan, claiming he helped achieve a cease-fire deal “by using TRADE with the United States to bring reason, cohesion and sanity into the talks.”
His claim that peace would similarly be reached between Israel and Iran contradicts recent comments from both countries: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested Saturday that Israel’s campaign against Iran would intensify, while Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian reportedly threatened Israel with a “more severe and decisive” response to recent bombings.
This is a developing story.
