Negotiations between the US and Iran remain ongoing, President #DonaldTrump said early Tuesday morning, just hours after Iran and Israel agreed to halt attacks on one another that threatened to shatter a shaky ceasefire.
Trump said the talks with Tehran did not stop during the escalation in violence, signaling that a deal to formally end the war could be reached within "one or two days from now, but I think it's going well."
"They were going back and forth, and now they both agreed through me to stop, and we're in the final throes of what will be a very, very good deal that will not allow in any way, shape, or form nuclear weapons, etc.," the US president told reporters as he prepared to return to the White House after attending an NBA finals game in New York

Trump hits back at 'unpatriotic' vote after House rebukes him over Iran
US President #DonaldTrump has hit back at lawmakers who voted to send him a rebuke over the war in Iran, calling them "unpatriotic".
On Wednesday, the US House of Representatives passed a measure seeking to halt #Trump from taking further military action amid growing opposition to the war.
In a post on Truth Social, the president wrote: "Yesterday, in a meaningless vote, the House voted, 4 bad Republicans and all of the Dumocrats, to limit my War Powers, right in the middle of my final negotiations to end the War with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Who would do such an unpatriotic thing."
It is unclear how much legal force the House's measure will have. The White House has dismissed its merits.
It has also described the move as an unconstitutional attempt to restrict presidential power

#DonaldTrump angrily confronted Benjamin Netanyahu over Israel’s threats to resume airstrikes on Beirut’s southern suburbs, according to a report.
“What the fuck are you doing?” the US president shouted at the Israeli prime minister during the phone call on Monday, according to Axios, a US website that has frequently published reports on high-level conversations between the two leaders.
The report, which has been contested in Israeli media, cited a US official summarising Trump’s remarks to Netanyahu: “You’re fucking crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.”
The phone call came after Netanyahu had ordered the Israeli military to resume bombing the southern Dahiya area of Beirut to target Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia which has launched drone strikes into Israel. The Israel Defense Forces told Lebanese civilians to evacuate areas of southern Beirut, causing thousands of people to flee.
Iran said on Tuesday that it would suspend peace talks with the US over Israel’s ongoing campaign in southern Lebanon. Tehran insisted Lebanon should be covered by a ceasefire agreement meant to facilitate negotiations to open the strait of Hormuz and lift a US blockade of Iranian ports.
The phone call between #Trump and Netanyahu came on the heels of that announcement, which would effectively freeze talks days after #Trump had claimed negotiators had reached a preliminary deal that he was considering whether to sign.
Channel 12, a prominent independent Israeli news network, contested the details of the call. Amit Segal, the network’s chief political analyst, said #Trump had not attacked Netanyahu personally and that the two had come to an agreement that he would refrain from attacking the Beirut suburbs if Hezbollah ceased its attacks on Israel.

President #DonaldTrump told CNBC's Eamon Javers, "I don't care" if peace negotiations with Iran are over.
#Trump told CNBC he was "going to ask" Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "what's going on with Lebanon."
Trump said he wasn't worried about oil prices, which spiked following a report that Iran will "completely block" the Strait of Hormuz in addition to halting negotiations with the U.S
