Trump: Iran wants a deal. Tehran denies Bazeshkian's resignation

US President Donald Trump said at dawn on Monday (June 1st) that Iran does indeed want to conclude a deal with the United States, stressing that any potential deal would be "good for Washington and those who stand with it."

"It's hard for him to negotiate with Iran with all the political commentary on the conflict," Trump wrote on Truth Social, adding, "It's much harder for me to do my job properly and negotiate, when the political chuckles continue to 'gossip' passively at unprecedented levels, over and over again, that I have to move faster, or slower, or go to war, or not go to war, or whatever."

"Just sit back and relax, everything will end well in the end – as always."

Trump said on Friday he would soon make a decision on a proposed deal to extend the ceasefire with Iran.

Messages through Pakistan warn against targeting Dahiya

Lebanese sources revealed urgent international contacts with the participation of Pakistani and American parties, against the backdrop of Iranian messages conveyed to Washington via Islamabad, warning that any Israeli escalation against Beirut, especially the southern suburbs, could directly threaten the course of US-Iranian understandings.

 The information indicated that Tehran was informed that the targeting of Beirut "may push the region towards a very dangerous phase," while international efforts to prevent escalation are intensifying hours before what is described  as "fateful" for the region.

This morning, a massive displacement was recorded from the southern suburbs of Beirut, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered to attack targets there, which he claimed was a response to  repeated violations of the ceasefire in Lebanon by Hezbollah.
