President Donald Trump told Russian President Vladimir Putin that the agreement to end the conflict with Iran is nearly complete, with Putin expressing his satisfaction, according to Israeli media reports. The exchange comes amid a flurry of statements by Trump throughout Monday evening signaling a diplomatic breakthrough with Tehran.
As The Zioneer reported at 19:35, Trump said earlier Monday evening that the Iran deal would be signed 'within hours' and that he would ask Tehran not to fire missiles at Israel, while harshly criticizing Prime Minister Netanyahu's judgment over the Beirut strike. The call with Putin appears to be part of the diplomatic outreach surrounding the final stages of the agreement.
Separately, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addressed domestic criticism of the emerging deal, stating that negotiations are proceeding in accordance with decisions of the Supreme National Security Council and the leader of the Islamic Republic. Protests by hardline regime supporters against the reported memorandum of understanding have taken place in Tehran, with demonstrators chanting slogans against Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
The exact content of Trump's call with Putin and the timeline for signing remain unconfirmed by official U.S. or Russian statements.
