Israel ‘not aware’ of Trump being close to negotiating peace deal with Iran

Israel was preparing for an escalation in fighting, unaware of any potential ceasefire deal between the US and Iran. Donald Trump threatened to resume hostilities with Iran if an agreement was not reached, warning of a more intense attack on the Strait of Hormuz. The US and Iran are reportedly close to a deal to end the conflict, contingent on both sides lifting blockades around the Strait of Hormuz.
