Trump says Iran deal will be finalized in a few hours, blaming Israel for the delay

U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Sunday that a peace agreement with Iran was still expected to be signed within hours, even after an Israeli strike on Beirut that he said caused a delay.

“It shook it up. It delayed the signing by a few hours. It was supposed to be now. Now it is scheduled for a few hours from now,” Trump said during a phone conversation with the Axios news outlet.

Trump expressed frustration with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the attack on Beirut, saying, “It is so bad — I couldn’t believe it. An hour before we are supposed to sign the deal.”

Using strong language, Trump told Axios that he was angry with Netanyahu after Israel struck Beirut’s southern suburbs on Sunday, killing three people, in response to what Israel described as Hezbollah fire at northern Israel.

“Why did Bibi have to do a fucking attack?” Trump said. “I was so pissed off. I let him know. He has no fucking judgement. I let him know that.”

Tehran maintains that any agreement to end the conflict must also address the parallel war in Lebanon, where Israel has been targeting the Iran‑backed group Hezbollah.
