Trump says Netanyahu will accept Iran deal as US-Iran talks stall

President Trump has stated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will have no choice but to accept a peace deal with Iran, as the US struggles to reach an agreement. Trump also threatened to "blow up" Iran if talks fail and set conditions for unfreezing Iranian assets, but Iran rejected using its assets to pay damages to US allies.

Negotiations remain far apart 100 days into the war, with the UN warning that the conflict is pushing millions into hunger. Trump has separated the Lebanon issue from the Iran ceasefire deal, and reports suggest he secretly sent envoys to meet nuclear experts. Iran continues to reject key US demands, and Trump is pressing Israel to hold back after any Iranian retaliation for a Beirut attack.
