Trump says Israeli strike delayed US-Iran deal by hours US President Donald Trump has told Axios that a deal with Iran to end the war remains on track for Sunday, despite Israel’s strike on Beirut and Tehran’s threat to retaliate. “[The Israeli attack] 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 in a phone call with the US outlet. Trump said he was shocked when advisers briefed him on the Israeli attack and that he was furious with Netanyahu over the timing. “It is so bad – I couldn’t believe it. An hour before we are supposed to sign the deal,” Axios quoted him as saying.
