U.S. President Donald Trump has announced his intention to mediate peace between Iran and Israel, citing his past successes in conflict resolution.
Speaking via his social media platform, Trump stated that negotiations are currently underway and expressed confidence that a resolution could be reached.
He compared the situation to his previous efforts in brokering peace between India and Pakistan, as well as between Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo.
“This is nothing new for me,” Trump said. “I’ve done it before, and I can do it again.” He reiterated his commitment to ending the conflict, though he lamented that his efforts often go unrecognized.
“People see what I’m doing, even if they don’t always acknowledge it,” he added.
Trump’s statement comes as Israel has reportedly urged the U.S. to intervene in its escalating tensions with Iran.
However, the Trump administration has maintained that it will not engage militarily.
In another claim, Trump revealed that he and Russian President Vladimir Putin have discussed the matter and agreed on the need to de-escalate hostilities between Israel and Iran.
