US-Iran War LIVE: Will the US and Iran Make a Peace Deal? Netanyahu wants to restore strikes, Trump says hold on | Today’s news
US-Iran War LIVE: The deadline for a peace deal to end the Iran war is looming, and US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appear to be at loggerheads. There are reports that while Netanyahu wants to renew strikes on Iran, the fear of delay and waiting for a deal will only benefit the Iranian regime. But Donald Trump wants to wait for a peace deal to be completed, thereby ending the war and opening the Strait of Hormuz, the closure of which sent oil and energy prices sky high.
Trump recently said he delayed strikes on Iran, planned for Tuesday, May 19, at the request of Arab countries including Qatar and the UAE. Qatar and Pakistan have drafted a revised peace memorandum with input from other regional mediators to try to bridge the gap between the US and Iran, Axios reported, citing sources. Stay tuned for LIVE updates on Iran and the US deal.
