Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping helped the United States reach a peace deal with Iran, US President Donald Trump told The New York Times.
Following this, Trump complained about contacts with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"He is a very complex person, and, frankly, he should be very grateful to us for doing this. Because if Iran had nuclear weapons, Israel would not have existed for two hours," Trump said.
Journalists had a phone conversation with the US president. The article says that in the background it was heard how his family was going to a gala dinner — on June 14, the US president turned 80 years old.
According to the NYT, Iran deliberately did not agree to the terms of the peace until midnight arrived at Tehran time — so that this would not happen on Trump's birthday. Only after waiting for the June 15 offensive, Iran agreed on a deal. The publication notes that due to the time difference of 7.5 hours, both sides were able to announce the agreement at a time that suits them.
