Tensions between the US and Iran have escalated as negotiations appear to falter. Last week, US President Donald Trump suggested that a peace deal with Iran was 'largely negotiated' and would soon be announced. However, the situation took a turn when the US conducted military strikes in Iran, and Israel intensified its military actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon. In response, Iran announced the suspension of its negotiations with the US, asserting that any ceasefire must include Lebanon. Iranian officials indicated that they might retaliate if Israeli attacks continue, further complicating the situation. While Trump downplayed Iran's withdrawal from talks, claiming discussions were ongoing, his comments to Netanyahu revealed underlying tensions. The future of peace between the US and Iran remains uncertain, as both sides navigate a complex and volatile regional landscape.
