Israeli officials have stated they are not aware of any potential ceasefire deal between the United States and Iran, as reported by a source within the country. This comes despite claims that negotiators are nearing an agreement to end hostilities.
Trump’s Threats and Demands
Donald Trump has threatened to resume military action against Iran if a deal is not reached. In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated that an agreement would end what he called “Epic Fury” and reopen the Strait of Hormuz to all maritime traffic. He warned that if Iran fails to agree, bombing would commence at a “much higher level and intensity” than before.
Reports of a Potential Deal
Reports suggest that the US and Iran are close to a deal that would end the conflict, contingent on both sides lifting blockades around the Strait of Hormuz. However, Israeli sources have expressed caution, indicating they have not been briefed on any such negotiations.
Meanwhile, oil prices have plunged on hopes of a peace deal, despite Trump’s aggressive rhetoric. The situation remains fluid, with both diplomatic and military options still on the table.
