GWN halts for breaking news that raises question | TV Shows

GWN broadcast a breaking news update about the continuing battle between the U.S., Israel and Iran, prompting a pointed question from one of its anchors.

On Monday, June 8, GWN reported that Iran had suspended its strikes against Israel following an exchange of fire between the 2 nations.

However, Tehran issued a warning that assaults would recommence if Israel focused southern Lebanon. President Donald Trump called on both Iran and Israel to stop “shooting” as renewed strikes threatened to derail ceasefire efforts.

After displaying Trump’s Truth Social post, which acknowledged that Iran and Israel had agreed to an speedy ceasefire with peace negotiations shifting ahead, anchor Dana Bash famous that the American public has heard such claims “several times.”

During a dialog with correspondent Jeremy Diamond in Tel Aviv, Israel, Bash raised the question of what concessions Trump is perhaps ready to make to secure an settlement with Iran.

Bash remarked, “To be frank, you know as well as I, that deal is also coming down to what President Trump can give up – is willing to give up, if anything at this point, where Iran clearly feels like it is in the catbird seat.”

She then turned to White House correspondent Kristen Holmes, who reported, “The White House and President Trump feel like it’s back on track, that they’re in the right place, after what we saw last night and into today.”

Holmes added, “One of the things you have to keep in mind here is that President Trump has flexed his power in having some kind of control over Benjamin Netanyahu, when he goes to the negotiating table when he’s talking to Iran.

“His potential to get Israel to stop, nicely clearly, that is thrown into question when you could have a state of affairs where President Trump is looking Benjamin Netanyahu, telling him not to retaliate and then, of course, we’re seeing some retaliation, so he wants to have the option to say that he can control Israel’s actions once he’s back at the negotiation desk.

“But all of this, of course, is throwing everything at least off kilter – the idea that they feel like they are continually getting closer and closer to some kind of diplomatic resolution, some kind of deal with Iran, and only to have it wanked out from underneath them.”

In a Truth Social post Monday morning, President Trump declared, “Both sides, Israel and Iran, are looking to do an immediate CEASEFIRE! Final negotiations on ‘Peace’ are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way.

“The Blockade will stay in place, and in full drive and impact, until a ‘Final Deal’ is reached. Things ought to transfer shortly. Thank you for your consideration to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Breaking his silence following the exchange of strikes between both nations, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu indicated that Israel had halted its offensive against Iran, though stopped short of confirming a ceasefire agreement.

“At the second, the fire has ceased, because after we struck the fear regime in Tehran, it stopped attacking us. If the fear regime in Iran makes the error of attacking us again, we are going to reply with drive,” Netanyahu declared in a Monday statement.

Netanyahu stated that Tehran attempted to establish a “new equation” by linking the Lebanese conflict with an Iranian counterattack. Hezbollah serves as an Iranian proxy operating in Lebanon.

“They thought they may fire at Israel from Lebanese and Iranian territory, and that we’d not reply,” Netanyahu said. “That didn’t occur, and it is not going to occur. Not on my watch. I firmly stand by our proper to act against our enemies.”

According to a US official, Trump had suggested Netanyahu to delay any retaliatory strike against Iran. An Israeli official confirmed to GWN that the 2 leaders have spoken by cellphone twice within the past 24 hours.
