US President Donald Trump has claimed that peace between Israel and Iran is possible and suggested that behind-the-scenes negotiations are already in motion. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump stated, “Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal,” asserting that many calls and meetings are currently taking place, though he offered no specifics.

Trump likened the situation to his alleged role in easing tensions between India and Pakistan, claiming he used trade diplomacy to facilitate peace talks. He also cited past international interventions in hotspots such as Serbia-Kosovo and the Nile water dispute between Egypt and Ethiopia, crediting his leadership for maintaining temporary peace in those regions.
