In an i24NEWS report, US President Donald Trump said he does not believe a potential deal with Iran would hold. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun stated that talks with Israel enjoy support from most of the Shiite community. Meanwhile, Iranian officials are calling for the cancellation of negotiations following US strikes.
The i24NEWS report, published Wednesday afternoon, brings together three notable diplomatic statements. Trump's comment on the Iran deal reflects his longstanding skepticism of negotiated agreements with Tehran. Aoun's assertion of Shiite support for talks with Israel is significant given the sectarian dynamics in Lebanon. The Iranian demand to cancel negotiations follows recent US military strikes, though the report does not specify which strikes. No further details were provided in the brief article.
