According to the Report, this was stated by US President Donald Trump, answering questions from reporters on the South Lawn of the White House before flying to Canada, where the summit of the leaders of the Group of Seven (Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Canada, the United States, France and Japan) will be held.
"I hope there will be a deal [between Israel and Iran]. I think it's time for a deal," he said. "But sometimes you have to solve a case by fighting," Trump added, referring to the possibility of continued hostilities.
He stressed that "there are all chances" to reach a deal.
The President assured that Washington would continue to provide assistance to Israel in defense. Trump refused to answer a question about whether he had asked the authorities of the Jewish state to suspend strikes against Iran.
The head of the Washington administration earlier expressed confidence that peace would soon be established between Iran and Israel, and noted that meetings and telephone conversations are currently being held to this end. He did not provide details.
