Trump’s peace deal in jeopardy after Israel strikes BeirutDonald Trump’s peace deal with Iran has been thrown into jeopardy once again, after Israel strikes the Lebanon capital of Beirut.The Israeli military says it has struck Hezbollah infrastructure in the southern suburbs of Beirut, after claiming the group had launched three projectiles towards communities in northern Israel, calling it a blatant ceasefire violation.Washington and Tehran appear to be getting closer to a deal to end the more than three-month-long conflict, with US and Pakistani leaders forecast
a signing on Sunday.Iran has long made the end of fighting in Lebanon a condition for any wider agreement with the United States, and have said a final decision on the framework of a peace deal with the US is still under review.The US president said the deal with Iran was scheduled to be signed on Sunday in a post online, claiming the Strait of Hormuz will then be “open to all”.He added that the administration’s “relationship with Iran is a much different and better
one than previous administrations have had”.The US president ended his post on a sinister note as he warned there is the “ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again” if process does not work “smoothly”.It had been reported that Trump is scrambling to secure a peace deal with Iran before the G7 summit with world leaders on Monday.
