Trump Says Peace Between Iran and Israel Could Happen Soon

U.S. President Donald Trump voiced optimism on Sunday about the prospect of peace between Israel and Iran, suggesting that a resolution could be reached soon.

He also noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin might play a role in facilitating the process.

In a separate interview with ABC News, Trump expressed a willingness to see Russian President Vladimir Putin—despite ongoing conflict in Ukraine and past resistance to ceasefire efforts—take on a mediating role in the peace process.

“Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social site. “We will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place.”

Trump did not offer any details about the meetings or evidence of progress toward peace. 

His assertion contradicted comments by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said on Saturday that Israel’s campaign against Iran would intensify.
