Washington, Jun 14: The signing of the US-Iran deal to end the war has been delayed by a few hours due to Israel’s strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut, US President Donald Trump told local media here.
Trump said he was shocked when he heard about the Israeli strike in Beirut, and fumed at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“It shook it up. It delayed the signing by a few hours. It was supposed to be now. Now it is scheduled for a few hours from now,” Trump told US media outlet Axios.
The President told Fox News that the peace deal with Iran will be signed electronically on Sunday and the in-person signing will happen in Europe a week from now.
Trump said he was also speaking to interlocutors in Iran to dissuade them from responding to Israeli air strikes in Beirut.
“What the f*** are you doing,” Trump told Netanyahu in a phone call, according to Fox News.
