Trump Says Iran Is ‘FINISHED’ After Cancelled Negotiations - As Israeli Attacks Threaten Deal

Key Points:

• President Donald Trump declared Iran "finished" and vowed that Iran would receive no money during the 60-day negotiation period following the newly signed U.S.-Iran deal, emphasizing that no funds would be released until outstanding issues are resolved.
• The agreement includes the U.S. lifting sanctions and unfreezing Iranian assets within 60 days, contingent on progress in negotiations, but the first follow-up meeting scheduled in Switzerland was canceled without explanation, raising concerns about the deal's stability.
• Reports suggest Iran withdrew from the meeting due to ongoing Israeli attacks on Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, despite the U.S.-Iran deal requiring a cessation of hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon, although Israel is not a party to the agreement.
• Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon have resulted in significant casualties, and a ceasefire was reached shortly after, with Israel maintaining it is not bound by the U.S.-Iran deal’s terms.
• Trump defended the deal against bipartisan criticism, asserting that Iran's military capabilities have been significantly diminished, while many critics question whether the U.S. benefits from the agreement.
