Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a separate statement regarding the attacks between Israel and Iran. On his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump said both Israel and Iran "want a ceasefire immediately." He added, "Final peace negotiations are moving along, unless there is the stupidity or the evil that will prevent it from happening. It will be actively enforced and continue in full force and effect until a final deal is struck. Everything will move quickly."
