Trump won’t back down: Israeli officials say Iran deal a priority

The US is exploring a potential breakthrough with Iran amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, with Donald Trump keen on advancing an agreement to end hostilities. However, doubts persist over whether Iran would accept key US conditions, and violence continues across the region.
A fresh diplomatic push is underway between the US and Iran. The US is exploring a potential breakthrough, but Iran has rejected claims of ongoing negotiations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested the US may use recent military gains as diplomatic leverage. Iran's Revolutionary Guards have rejected the US narrative, describing Trump's statements as 'psychological operations'. The Israel Defence Forces confirmed an Iranian missile strike in central Tel Aviv, injuring several people. Israeli forces have expanded operations, targeting Hezbollah-linked facilities in Lebanon and Iranian-linked assets. The conflict is entering its fourth week, with concerns growing over its impact on global energy markets and regional stability.
