00:00In a fast moving chain of events on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump said no Israeli troops will be
00:05going to Beirut and any troops on their way have already been turned back after he talked to Benjamin Netanyahu
00:11and Hezbollah.
00:12In a post on True Social, Trump claimed he had a very good call with Hezbollah and they agreed all
00:18shooting will stop so that Israel will not attack them and they will not attack Israel.
00:23Trump further stated in a separate post on his platform that negotiations with Tehran have continued at a rapid pace.
00:30These messages came shortly after Iran's IRGC-linked Tasnim news agency reported that Tehran decided to stop exchanging messages with
00:38the U.S. on a peace deal following Israel's widespread offensive in Lebanon.
00:42The report also announced Iran's resolve to completely block the Strait of Hormuz and to expand its fighting fronts.
00:49However, Trump downplayed Iran's statement by telling U.S. media that Tehran had not informed Washington of the move, claiming
00:56oil prices would drop like a rock in the very near future as he was addressing the sudden market spike.
01:02Meanwhile, Iran's foreign ministry released a statement blaming Washington for not restraining Israel from its Lebanese offensive and stating that
01:10the country is acting on the basis of its inherent right to self-defense.
01:15Additionally, two Iranian generals were quoted as saying that Tehran is prepared to undertake what they called defensive operations through
01:22game-changing measures regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
