Iran-US war latest: Netanyahu says he and Trump ‘don’t always see eye to eye’ as he warns Israel threat is not over despite peace deal

President Donald Trump has claimed that Iran agreed to never obtain a nuclear weapon as part of their peace deal to end the war.

“Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon!” Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday evening, Washington time.

Earlier Monday, Trump said a deal with Iran was “all signed,” but specific details about the agreement have yet to be revealed.

Trump has made clear during the months-long war that Iran cannot obtain a nuclear weapon. When he announced the military campaign against Iran in late February, he said Iran posed an imminent threat to the American people with its nuclear ambitions.

US President Donald Trump has denied a claim that Iran could get 300 million for reconstruction, just hours after his vice president, JD Vance, said it could happen.

“Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon! Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, referring to his degrading nickname for Democrats.

Earlier Monday, Vance told CBS News that type of fund is “the sort of thing they could have access to, funded by the Gulf Coast Coalition, so long as they honor their end of the obligation”.

Trump has said that a peace deal with Iran is “all signed.”

The Iran oil crisis has cost UK drivers £4 billion through higher fuel prices, according to new analysis.

The RAC Foundation, a motoring research charity, estimated that rises in pump prices since the conflict in the Middle East began on February 28 have led to motorists paying £3 billion more for diesel and just over £1 billion more for petrol.

A $300 billion fund the Trump administration is considering for Iran would be created for companies keen to invest in the country and not from governments, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing a source briefed on the talks.

US vice president JD Vance said there has not been any sanctions relief but that the agreement contemplates a significant sanctions relief package, if Tehran fulfills its obligations.

“There hasn’t been a single dollar of sanctions relief or unfrozen assets, either from the United States or any of our allies in the Gulf. I’ve seen some misreporting about that. I don’t know where it comes from,” he initially told CNN’s Jake Tapper.

He later said: “To be very clear, this agreement contemplates a very significant sanctions relief package for the Iranian people that transforms how they interact with the world and with the region. But they only get that benefit if they meet their obligations under the agreement.

Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.

Vice president JD Vance on Monday said the US memorandum of understanding with Iran was “a very general document” with specifics of the deal to be worked out during further negotiations.

“The MOU…is about a page and half so it is a very general document,” Vance said on CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper.

“On a number of issues, we are going to have to figure this stuff out during the technical negotiation phase.”

He added: “The coolest thing about the progress we’ve made over the last few weeks is that you see people within the Iranian system — even IRGC officials — say, ‘You know what? We may have some animosity, we have some mistrust, but we recognize the way that we’ve done business with the United States for 47 years is a mistake. Let’s try something else.’”

Three explosions have been heard south of Iran’s Qeshm Island, according to semi-official Iranian news agency Mehr.

The explosions reportedly occurred in the Strait of Hormuz.

Mehr says the explosions are possible linked to traffic management through the Strait.

Israeli defence minister Israel Katz said on Monday that Israeli forces would look to stay in Lebanon indefinitely, despite the US-Iran deal reportedly stipulating the conflict must end on all fronts.

“Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I are leading a clear policy that determines that the IDF will remain in the security zones in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza, without any time limit, to protect, from there, the border and Israeli communities against jihadist elements,” Katz said in a statement.

He said they “oppose an IDF withdrawal from Lebanon, despite all the existing pressures and those that will still come”.

The comments threaten to undermine the tentative framework agreement hashed out between Iran and the US after more than three months of conflict.

Iran and mediator Pakistan have said the deal depends on the war ending on all fronts, explicitly including Lebanon.

Donald Trump clashed with Israeli PM Netanyahu last week after Iran struck Israel over its continued operations in Lebanon. Trump told Netanyahu not to retaliate and warned Israel could find itself fighting alone if it reopened hostilities. Israel subsequently retaliated.

The Israeli military has intercepted several rockets launched by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.

The Lebanese militant group said it had targeted Israeli forces with rocket salvos and artillery shells in an area of the country’s south, which is being occupied by Israeli forces – with Benjamin Netanyahu’s government vowing it will remain there.

No injuries were reported after an anti-tank missile and multiple mortar shells were fired, the Israeli military said.

It brings concerns of a potential escalation, and the possibility of more Israeli attacks on Beirut and attacks by Hezbollah on northern Israel – both of which could bring serious jeopardy to the US and Iran’s highly fragile truce.

Donald Trump said a preliminary agreement to end America’s’ war with Iran has been signed by both sides as Israel vowed to keep its forces in Lebanon.

The agreement will reopen the Strait of Hormuz and extend a ceasefire for 60 days, allowing negotiations on issues such as Iran’s nuclear programme and sanctions.

However, Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon is not a condition of the deal being signed between Tehran and Washington, a senior White House official has said.
