Former President Donald Trump has weighed in on the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran, suggesting that the two nations “have to fight it out.” However, he also expressed his belief that a deal is still possible and urged both sides to begin negotiations immediately.
Speaking at the G7 summit, TRUMP stated, “I’d say Iran is not winning this war. And they should talk, and they should talk immediately before it’s too late.”
Thes remarks come amidst a series of escalating exchanges, including missile strikes between Israel and Iran. The conflict intensified following reported Israeli attacks within Iran, targeting key military figures and nuclear facilities.
TRUMP referenced his previous ultimatum to Iran, stating they were given 60 days to negotiate a new nuclear agreement, which he believes coudl have averted the current hostilities.
“They had 60 days, and on the 61st day, I said, ‘We don’t have a deal,'” TRUMP said, while alongside Canadian Prime Minister MARK CARNEY. “They have to make a deal. and it’s painful for both parties.”
U.S. Involvement and Support for Israel
When questioned about potential U.S. military intervention, TRUMP declined to comment. He affirmed ongoing U.S. support for Israel, stating, “We’ve always supported Israel… We have, for a long period of time, strongly, and Israel is doing very well right now.”
“I’d say Iran is not winning this war. and they should talk, and they should talk immediately before it’s too late.”
Iran’s Stance on Negotiations
Recent reports suggest that Iran has communicated its willingness to resume negotiations with both Israel and the U.S., under the condition that the U.S. refrains from joining Israel in any further attacks. These messages were reportedly conveyed through Arab intermediaries.
Moving Forward
The situation remains fluid, with diplomatic efforts ongoing to de-escalate tensions and bring both parties to the negotiating table. The U.S.government has yet to officially comment on the possibility of renewed negotiations.
