But sometimes they have to fight it outwell see what happens, he added, speaking from the White House before departing for the G7 summit in Canada.The ongoing escalation marks a significant shift in the long-standing hostilities between the two adversaries. After years of proxy battles and covert operations, Iran and Israel are now openly trading direct strikes for the first time, sparking concerns that the conflict could spread throughout the Middle East.The fighting erupted on Friday when Israel launched a series of coordinated attacks, reportedly killing top Iranian military officials and nuclear scientists, while targeting military installations, nuclear facilities, and residential areas.When asked if he had urged Israel to halt its airstrikes, Trump declined to respond.Meanwhile, a senior U.S. official revealed that Trump had vetoed an Israeli plan to assassinate Irans Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.On his Truth Social platform, Trump reiterated his belief that the two nations should and will eventually reach an agreement. He noted that many calls and meetings were already underway and expressed hope that peace could be achieved soon between the long-time enemies.The post <a href="http://www.lindaikejisblog.com/2025/6/trump-suggests-iran-and-israel-may-need-to-fight-it-out-before-reaching-a-deal-2.html">Trump suggests Iran and Israel may need to 'fight it out' before reaching a deal</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.lindaikejisblog.com">Linda Ikeji Blog</a>.
