Trump Pushing for Iran Deal, Israel Doubts Progress

0:00It's March 24th. Welcome to Global News Today, powered by AI and Connected Worldwide. Senior Israeli officials say President Trump is pushing hard for a deal with Iran to end the hostilities in the Middle East. They shared this view anonymously on March 24th, right after talks fell apart. Negotiations broke down on February 28th. The same day the U.S. and Israel launched military action against Iran. The U.S. demands likely focus on limiting Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missiles, but the officials doubt Iran will budge. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke out on Monday, noting Trump sees a real chance to use recent military successes by the Israeli defense forces, and U.S. forces to secure a favorable agreement. Iran quickly denied any ongoing talks after Trump's comment surfaced. The officials remain pessimistic about quick progress. As tensions linger, both sides weigh their next moves, with a deal still hanging in the balance for now.
