A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department affirmed that President Donald Trump would not accept any "bad" deal with Iran, emphasizing that the American administration possesses significant leverage in this regard. The spokesperson clarified that the administration is actively targeting
Iranian revenue networks attempting to circumvent imposed sanctions, noting that these measures deprive Tehran of substantial daily financial sums. He also revealed the continuation of communication channels with Iran through intermediaries, confirming an exchange of messages between the two sides.
In a related context, the American spokesperson indicated that the basis of ongoing negotiations concerning Iran centers on Lebanon's sovereignty and security, with efforts to provide constructive talks leading to peace. Separately, reports issued early this Thursday revealed that then-U.S.
President Donald Trump had secretly informed his aides of his condition for launching a "full-scale war" against Iran. These reports cited American officials confirming that Trump had made it clear to his aides that he would reconsider the ceasefire and
resume a comprehensive war against Iran if any Iranian attack resulted in the death of American soldiers. The same officials confirmed that the truce, ongoing for weeks with Iran, remains in place despite continuous sporadic violent skirmishes between the two
parties. They pointed out that repeated attacks had increased pressure on Trump, raising serious questions about the long-term sustainability of the ceasefire.
