Israel and Iran launched fresh attacks on each other overnight into Sunday (June 15, 2025), killing scores.
“Iran and Israel should make a deal and will make a deal,” Mr. Trump said on Truth Social, adding that “we will have Peace, soon.”
Mr. Trump did not offer any details about the meetings or evidence of progress toward peace. His assertion contradicted comments by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said on Saturday (June 14, 2025) that Israel’s campaign against Iran would intensify.
A White House spokeswoman did not immediately respond to a request for comment on how Mr. Trump and the White House were working to de-escalate the situation in the Middle East.

Mr. Trump, who portrays himself as a peacemaker and has drawn criticism from his political base for not being able to prevent the Israel-Iran conflict, cited other disputes that he took responsibility for solving, including between India and Pakistan.
“I do a lot and never get credit for anything, but that’s ok; the people understand. Make the Middle East great again,” he wrote.
