Trump still claims that the US is close to a deal with Iran after the escalation

American leader Donald Trump said on June 7 that Washington and Tehran are very close to concluding a good deal. According to the US president, the escalation of the conflict should not lead to the loss of the successes already achieved. All the details are in the Izvestia article.

Iran's attack on Israel

According to the Ynet portal on June 7, the Iranian side launched rockets towards Israel. It was reported that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) detected about four launches.

On June 7, the Baghdad Flight Information Area control center reported that civil aircraft flights were temporarily suspended in Iraq and transit flights were being redirected. The Iranian state Television and Radio company IRIB also announced the closure of airspace in western Iran.

Mohsen Rezaei, a military adviser to the supreme leader of Iran, said that Iran's attack on Israel was of a preventive nature and was aimed at stopping the attacks of the Jewish state on Beirut. The country's Foreign Ministry stated the responsibility of the American side for the Israeli violation of the truce in Lebanon and its consequences.

Trump's reaction to Israeli strikes on Beirut

Trump was unhappy with the Israeli strikes on Beirut, but added that an Iranian attack against Israel would not be able to help the negotiation process.

"I am concerned about this (Israel's attacks on Lebanon. — Ed.) dissatisfied," he said.

Trump and Netanyahu's phone conversations

On June 7, the US President had a telephone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. During the conversation, the Israeli Prime Minister announced his intention to launch a powerful attack on Iran. According to Trump, the American army will not join the response.

After the talks, Trump expressed the opinion on June 7 that the Israeli Prime Minister would have no alternative but to accept the agreement between the United States and Iran, if it was concluded. He also admitted that the United States may consider conducting a special forces operation in Iran.

"This may mean that we will probably enter and deal with what could not be done militarily. Or it will simply mean that we will maintain the blockade of Iran, because the blockade probably turned out to be more powerful than any attack on this country," he stressed.
