Overnight Israeli airstrikes in southern Lebanon have led to the postponement of US-Iran talks that were scheduled for today, according to a roundup posted by reports summarizing overnight developments. The bulletin also quoted President Trump saying on the emerging Iran deal that "oil flows, they will never get a nuclear weapon," and reported the Pentagon's stated need for an $80 billion supplemental due to war costs. The single source does not specify who made the decision to delay the talks or whether the postponement is bilateral.
A single Israeli media source, citing overnight IDF airstrikes in southern Lebanon, reports that the US-Iran talks planned for today (Friday) have been postponed. The source does not specify who made the decision to push back the negotiations or whether Iran or the US initiated the delay. The same bulletin quotes President Trump saying on the emerging deal with Iran: "oil flows, they will never get a nuclear weapon," and carries Israel's ambassador to the US stating commitment to the ceasefire "as long as Hezbollah does not violate it." A separate report cited in the roundup states the Pentagon requires an $80 billion supplement due to war costs related to Iran. The Zioneer has previously reported extensively on US-Iran talks and Israel's military operations in Lebanon, but today's bulletin is the first to link the postponement directly to the overnight Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon. The claims remain from a single source and have not been independently confirmed.
