Iran's state-owned broadcaster, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), criticized US President Donald Trump's recent claims that the US is close to a peace deal with Iran, suggesting it would grant free oil and control over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. The broadcaster referred to Trump's statements as 'building castles in the air,' indicating skepticism about their feasibility. Trump stated that Iran had offered not to pursue nuclear weapons for over 20 years, a key issue in negotiations. Meanwhile, a fragile ceasefire in Lebanon has raised hopes for a broader peace agreement, although violations by Israel were reported shortly after its implementation. Trump's remarks about the ceasefire and his appeal to Hezbollah to maintain peace reflect the complex dynamics of the region, where ongoing military actions and political pressures continue to shape the landscape.
