Israel and Iran seeking an “immediate CEASEFIRE” and “things should move quickly,” says Trump

Iran and Israel are seeking an “immediate CEASEFIRE,” President Trump said Monday, adding that “final negotiations” were ongoing and “things should move quickly.”

His comments came hours after Iran and Israel traded strikes in the worst violence in the war since a ceasefire was signed in early April.

In a post on Truth Social Monday, Mr. Trump wrote that Israel and Iran were “looking to do an immediate CEASEFIRE!”

“Final negotiations on ‘Peace’ are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way,” he added.

“The Blockade will remain in place, and in full force and effect, until a ‘Final Deal’ is reached. Things should move quickly.”
