President Trump told Fox News’ Trey Yingst that he believes a deal will be signed electronically with Iran in the next two to three hours, and that he has asked Iran to not respond to Iran’s strikes against Hezbollah.
ORIGINAL STORY
President Trump has a rather busy Sunday as he celebrates his 80th birthday. One key agenda item is getting a peace deal with Iran signed, which he asserted was imminent in a Saturday Truth Social post.
As Ward Clark noted:
We’ve seen talk of peace deals before, but this would seem to be the first time that President Trump has indicated a signing within the next day, which begs the question: Where? Will President Trump be embarking on Air Force One later on Saturday to fly to Pakistan, which nation has been acting as an intermediary? Also, who from Iran will be signing, and under what authority? We might remember that Iran’s leadership, or what’s left of it, is somewhat fragmented at the moment.
But there may be a snag: Israel has been conducting strikes in Beirut.
President Trump has now weighed in on the attacks, and he’s issued a stern warning — to all parties:
This morning’s attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran. Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process. We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel. This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace — Let’s not blow it! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
