What was said

"End of last week, Donald Trump said we're getting closer to a deal. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, expect something. Then the bombings happened when they attacked Israel over the weekend. Donald Trump didn't want to upset that apple cart. I think they were really close."

Hogan Gidley, former Deputy Press Secretary to Trump, revealed that the US and Iran were on the verge of a peace agreement late last week before Israeli strikes on Beirut derailed negotiations. This confirms reports that Israel may be actively sabotaging US-Iran diplomacy to keep the conflict ongoing, contradicting Israeli claims of seeking peace.
