At the same time, Trump commented on Iranian policy. He stated that Lebanon, which was attacked by Israel, was not included in the ceasefire agreement with Iran. According to Trump, this is a separate conflict that is not part of the agreement being negotiated. At the same time, the American president is questioning Iran's proposed ceasefire. According to American officials, the ten-point plan published by Iran does not contain the same conditions as the one agreed to by the White House. This report deepens concerns about misunderstandings in the negotiations. teraz.sk ↗
