In a recent interview with NBC News’ Meet the Press, U.S. President Donald Trump declared that he would not unfreeze Iranian assets or lift sanctions until a peace deal is successfully negotiated. Trump emphasized that such actions would only be considered after an agreement is finalized, stating, "If they behave, if they do a good job, we start talking." He clarified that he does not require Lebanon's participation in any short-term agreement with Tehran, although he acknowledged that Lebanon may be interested in such discussions. Trump's comments come in the context of ongoing U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran, which began on February 28. He asserted that the administration is close to negotiating a peace deal, but warned of severe consequences if talks fail, saying, "I'm going to blow the hell out of them." Additionally, Trump expressed a willingness to communicate with Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who has remained out of public view since being injured in U.S. strikes earlier in the conflict. Secretary of State Marco Rubio supported Trump’s stance, stating that a temporary ceasefire agreement is still in effect despite the recent military actions.
