No new Iran strikes for now amid deal hopes — Trump
Donald Trump says the US and Israel have agreed to hold off on strikes on Iran if a peace deal is reached "rapidly." Iran has vowed a decisive response to any new aggression. DW has more.
Israeli airstrikes have claimed at least eight lives in the Gaza Strip on a second day of attacks, despite a US-backed ceasefire agreement. Palestinian officials reported that the strikes targeted Hamas figures in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah, and Khan Younis. Israel claimed the operations were aimed at Hamas's elite Nukhba force and military operatives.
Since the October 7 attack on southern Israel, which resulted in over 1,200 deaths, Israel has killed over 73,000 Palestinians in its conflict with Hamas. Iranian officials dismissed US President Donald Trump's claim that Tehran had asked the US to halt new strikes, asserting their military readiness for any eventuality. Trump pledged the US and Israel would refrain from additional attacks on Iran under the condition that a peace deal with Tehran was swiftly reached.
