President Donald Trump and Pakistani officials say a peace deal with Iran could be signed as early as Sunday, but officials in Tehran have indicated they may need more time.
Covered by: Anders Hagstrom<\/a> and <\/span>Emma Bussey<\/a>
Iranian officials have downplayed President Donald Trump’s<\/a> claim that a peace deal will be signed on Sunday.
Iran foreign ministry<\/a> spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Saturday the deal “will not happen tomorrow,” but said it will likely be finished in the “coming days,” according to the Associated Press.
Qatari negotiators<\/a> flew to Tehran on Sunday morning in an effort to boost negotiations, according to Reuters.
President Donald Trump<\/a> says he expects a peace deal with Iran to be signed “in a matter of hours” on Sunday.
Trump made the comments in an interview with Fox News’ Trey Yingst, who cautioned that Iran has backed away from negotiations at the last minute multiple times.
Yingst noted that the tensions between Israel and Iran are an “x-factor” for the negotiations after Israel launched strikes against Hezbollah targets in Beirut, a red line for Iran.
Trump publicly condemned Israel’s strikes earlier Sunday and called on Israel and all other parties to cease hostilities.
Trump told Yingst that he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly.
“What the f— are you doing?” Trump says he told Netanyahu.
Flights in western Iran were canceled Sunday, according to reports.
Citing Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, Reuters<\/a> reported all flights in the region had been canceled until further notice. However, no official Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) had been issued, the outlet said.
The development came amid remarks by an adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, who said Iran would teach Israel a lesson after the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) struck Beirut’s southern suburbs.
“Neither the American diplomatic smile is trustworthy, nor is Israel’s savagery tolerable!” Mohammad Mokhber wrote on X<\/a>.
“We will teach the aggressors a lesson they will regret,” he added.
The head of the Iranian<\/a> parliament\u2019s National Security Committee warned Sunday that Tehran would retaliate following Israel\u2019s strike in Beirut.
\u201cToday\u2019s crime by the Zionist regime in Dahieh, Beirut, once again proved that the U.S. is weak and lacks credibility, as it is not even capable of controlling this illegitimate regime. A strong response is coming,\u201d Ebrahim Azizi said in a post shared on X.
The comments came as President Donald Trump<\/a> told Fox News\u2019 Trey Yingst that a deal with Iran would be signed \u201cin a matter of hours.”
Earlier Sunday, Trump also publicly condemned the IDF strikes<\/a> and called on Israel and all other parties to end hostilities.
Israel<\/a> claimed Sunday that Hezbollah had broken the ceasefire once more after a projectile entered from Lebanon.
\u201cANOTHER BLATANT CEASEFIRE VIOLATION,\u201d the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said in a post shared on X<\/a>.
\u201cFollowing sirens that sounded across northern Israel, a projectile that crossed from Lebanon impacted near Neot Mordechai, with several additional impacts identified in an area where IDF troops are operating in southern Lebanon,\u201d the IDF said.
Additional impacts from several suspicious aerial targets were identified near the Israel-Lebanon border, the force added.
This came after the IDF also carried out a strike on a Hezbollah infrastructure site in Dahieh in Beirut\u2019s<\/a> southern suburbs.
U.S. forces near the Strait of Hormuz<\/a> have disabled 9 commercial vessels that attempted to violate a blockade on Iranian ports and redirected 142, U.S. Central command said Sunday.
CENTCOM delivered an update on X as officials on all sides indicated that a more lasting peace agreement is closer than ever.
“A U.S Sailor aboard USS Milius (DDG 69) stands watch as the guided-missile destroyer transits regional waters supporting the U.S. blockade against Iran. As of June 14, CENTCOM forces have redirected 142 commercial ships that complied and disabled 9 vessels that did not comply,” CENTCOM wrote.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Navy<\/a> rescued 14 Indian sailors in the Arabian Sea after responding to a distress call on Sunday.
three U.S. Navy vessels responded to the distress call, but the rescue operations were carried out by servicemembers aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier.
“Upon receiving a distress call from the stranded mariners at approximately 2 a.m. EST, a U.S. Navy P-8 aircraft was first on scene, responded by dropping a search and rescue kit that included a life raft, which the 14 mariners boarded. Motor Vessel (M\/V) Jabal Ali 9 subsequently arrived on scene and successfully recovered eleven crew members from the raft,” the Navy said in a statement.
“An MH-60S Sea Hawk, assigned to Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), rescued three additional mariners after their life raft capsized in the rough seas. The three mariners were transported to M\/V Jabal Ali 9, where they were in good health and spirits,” the statement continued.
Former Trump State Department<\/a> senior advisor Christian Whiton joined Fox News to analyze the political shifts in the United Kingdom and Europe under President Donald Trump’s administration.
Trump has long pressed NATO allies to fulfill their defense spending commitments, contrasting the UK’s lack of support against Iran with other nations’ contributions.
Sen. Deb Fischer, R-Neb., discussed U.S. efforts to secure a lasting peace agreement with Iran as well as other ongoing national defense funding priorities on “Fox News Sunday.”
Fischer argued that the U.S. and President Donald Trump have the upper hand in negotiations with Iran.
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Michael Waltz<\/a> joined Fox News to discuss the potential U.S.-Iran ceasefire extension and President Donald Trump’s vision for a wider peace deal involving Iran’s nuclear program and an open Strait of Hormuz.
Waltz emphasized the critical need for verification in any nuclear agreement, but he argued economic pressure placed on Iran by the U.S. will force Tehran to comply.
President Donald Trump condemned Israel’s strikes<\/a> against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon’s capital of Beirut on Sunday and demanded an end to the aggression.
Trump made the statement in a post on his Truth Social account, saying the strikes threatened to crater chances of making a peace deal with Iran.
“This morning\u2019s attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran. Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process,” Trump wrote.
“We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel. This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace \u2014 Let\u2019s not blow it!” he added.
Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., joined “Fox News Sunday” and defended the Obama-era Iran deal, arguing that President Donald Trump is unlikely to secure anything better in his current negotiations.
The speaker of Iran’s parliament condemned Israel’s Sunday attack on Hezbollah targets in Beirut, suggesting that the U.S. gave Israel a “green light” for the strikes.
Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf made the statement in a post on X, suggesting that the attacks may further complicate peace talks.<\/a>
“The Zionists’ incursion into Dahiyeh has once again shown that America either lacks the will to fulfill its commitments or the ability to do so. By giving the green light to the regime, you cannot gain concessions. The game of bad cop and good cop is outdated,” Ghalibaf wrote.
“If you lack the will and ability to fulfill your commitments, speaking of continuing the path is not possible,” he added.
Former Deputy National Security Advisor KT McFarland joined Fox News to discuss President Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> proposed Iran deal as well as the push for nuclear disarmament and efforts to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Trump is set to meet with a number of Middle East leaders at the G7 Summit, which begins on Monday.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) fired 70 staff members working in Gaza<\/a> after long-standing claims from Israeli authorities that the agency is a collaborator with the Hamas terrorist group.
“Today, the Commissioner-General ad interim of UNRWA, Christian Saunders, took the decision to terminate the employment of 70 UNRWA staff members in Gaza with immediate effect,” UNRWA wrote in a statement Friday.
UNRWA insisted its decision was not an admission of guilt but one taken “to mitigate safety and security risks for the refugees the Agency serves under its mandate and for UNRWA personnel and premises.”
The agency claims it has “repeatedly asked the Israeli authorities to provide information and evidence to substantiate allegations against individual UNRWA staff members in Gaza but has received no response to date.”
“The dismissal of the staff is not part of a disciplinary process and does not constitute in any way a validation of the claims made against them,” the UNRWA statement read.
The firings follow a United States Agency for International Development (USAID) investigation that referred more than 100 UNRWA staff members for suspension or dismissal.
USAID’s investigation, the results of which the agency published June 5, assessed that a number of UNRWA’s employees were deeply enmeshed in Hamas’ civil society and military operations.

Israeli forces carried out strikes on Hezbollah targets in the Lebanese capital<\/a> of Beirut on Sunday.
Israel says the strikes were in response to rocket attacks from Hezbollah that targeted Israeli territory.
“The IDF has just struck Hezbollah terror targets in the Dahieh district of Beirut, in response to Hezbollah’s fire toward Israeli territory,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Israel Katz said in a joint statement.
“Israel will not tolerate fire into its territory,” the statement added.
The attacks comes as President Donald Trump and Pakistani officials are seeking to finalize a peace agreement with Iran.
Foreign policy analyst EJ Kimball discussed what requirements would be placed on the Iran regime before any the U.S. makes any concessions in peace talks<\/a> on Sunday.
Germany is pledging to become a more powerful military force inside NATO,<\/a> with Berlin\u2019s ambassador to Washington telling Fox News Digital that the country is ready to assume greater responsibility for European security after decades in which the United States carried much of the alliance\u2019s military burden.
“Germany is stepping up \u2014 we heard the call!” German Ambassador to the United States Jens Hanefeld told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.
Chancellor Friedrich Merz has said Germany\u2019s armed forces should become the strongest conventional army in Europe, a goal Hanefeld said is now backed by Berlin\u2019s new military strategy.
“Russia\u2019s illegal war of aggression has shaken old certainties in Europe and Germany as the international rules we have relied on are being challenged,” Hanefeld said. “This changes the strategic environment we operate in.”
“Today, Germany is Ukraine\u2019s largest supporter,” Hanefeld said in written answers. “Germany\u2019s decision to become Europe\u2019s strongest conventional army, well anchored in the NATO alliance, is an ongoing commitment.”
The shift marks a historic turn for a country whose postwar military identity was built around restraint.\u00a0

President Donald Trump is expected to discuss demining operations in the Strait of Hormuz<\/a> at the G7 summit that starts Monday.
A senior U.S. official, who briefed journalists on condition of anonymity under rules set by the White House, said Trump planned to meet on the G7 sidelines with the leaders of Egypt, Qatar and United Arab Emirates to discuss efforts to wind down the war against Iran.
Britain and France have both expressed interest in aiding demining efforts once a peace agreement is achieved.
