Iran's state-run news agency assessed there is a high likelihood the US-Iran deal will be approved by Tehran, according to reports. Meanwhile, President Trump is set to speak with Prime Minister Netanyahu this evening, a source told i24NEWS, after Trump's previous announcement on understandings caught the Israeli leadership by surprise.
At 22:21 Jerusalem, a source told i24NEWS that President Trump is set to speak with Prime Minister Netanyahu this evening — a call scheduled after Trump's earlier announcement of understandings with Iran caught the Israeli leadership by surprise, as The Zioneer reported at that time. The development follows hours of rapid-fire statements: at 22:15, the Qatari Royal Court announced that Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani spoke with Trump, who stated that all parties had approved the framework. At 22:22, sources in Iran assessed the chances of a deal as high but noted no official confirmation had been published.
Across the thread, what began as a presidential claim to the New York Post at 20:43 — that the deal was signed "almost entirely" — was immediately met with Iranian denials, first via IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency citing negotiating team sources, and then in an escalation at 20:43 when Fars reported that high-level approval was likely, while former negotiator Mohammad Marandi dismissed Trump's warnings, saying Tehran is ready for war. By 22:15, Qatar's mediation had entered the public record. The corroboration thus expanded from a single Trump assertion to a denser weave: a Qatari confirmation of discussions, an Iranian state-adjacent assessment of likely approval, and acknowledgment of a pending call to Israel.
As The Zioneer reported on June 10 at 19:09, Trump himself had tempered his earlier threats — "more and bigger bombings tonight" — with "I think Iranians want a deal, but we will see." That pattern of oscillation between threat and offer has characterized the US posture over days, as noted in background items in The Zioneer's archive.
What remains open is fundamental: no official confirmation of a finalized text has been issued by either the White House or the Iranian Foreign Ministry; the substance of the Trump-Netanyahu call and Israel's response to an accord it reportedly did not anticipate are not yet known.
