JERUSALEM, Israel – The U.S. and Iran could be closing in on a deal to end the war as President Trump delivers another ultimatum. Israel has also delivered a major military strike against terrorism in Lebanon.
The world could learn in the coming hours if Iran agrees to end the war.
The president stated on Wednesday, "They want to make a deal. We've had very good talks over the last 24 hours, and it's very possible that we'll make a deal."
Trump told Fox News that he's "cautiously optimistic" that U.S. and Iranian leaders could agree to a framework to surrender Tehran's uranium, lift U.S. sanctions, and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. However, he also issued a one-week ultimatum, posting on X that "if they don't agree, the bombing starts."
He cautioned, "We've had some good talks before, as you know. And all of a sudden, the next day, they're like, they forgot what happened."
