Mojtaba to only ink deal with Trump after 'finishing Israel'; Netanyahu real hindrance to peace?

Tensions surrounding the possible U.S.-Iran understanding are deepening as hardline rhetoric from Tehran and continuing Israeli military operations fuel speculation over whether any major breakthrough can truly happen soon. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards recently declared that West Asia would never see peace until the Israeli regime is removed, intensifying debate over whether Tehran is willing to fully commit to negotiations with Washington while the Gaza war continues. The controversy erupted after reports suggested Iran and the United States were discussing a possible extension of the ceasefire and partial reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. However, Iranian media quickly pushed back against claims that a final agreement had already been reached. U.S. Vice President JD Vance also admitted negotiations were “not there yet,” despite progress in talks.
