BlockBeats News, July 5th, President Trump of the United States stated that Iran is "begging for a deal," but mentioned that both sides have decided to pause negotiations for a week, until the end of Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei's funeral. He added that during the pause, neither side will attack each other. "They're here. With one hit, we could take care of them all, but we're not going to do that because then we would have nobody to negotiate with," Trump said.

Prior to this, Trump tweeted on Saturday that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has requested a meeting with him at the White House, which could take place as early as next week after Trump concludes the NATO summit. "We get along. (Netanyahu) knows who the boss is," Trump said.
