US President Donald Trump has said that a peace deal with Iran is still on track to be signed within hours, despite an Israeli strike on Beirut that he said had delayed the plan, AFP reports, citing Axios.

“It shook it up. It delayed the signing by a few hours. It was supposed to be now. Now it is scheduled for a few hours from now,” Trump said in a phone call to the Axios news outlet.

Trump fumed at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the attack on Beirut, saying, “It is so bad — I couldn’t believe it. An hour before we are supposed to sign the deal.”
