Day 93 of the Iran War: Trump won’t ‘rush’ a deal; Israel expands its invasion of Lebanon | US-Israeli war against Iran

US President Donald Trump said negotiations with Iran were progressing “slowly but surely” as Israel steps up its operations in Lebanon.

Published on May 31, 2026May 31, 2026

US President Donald Trump told Fox News he was in “no rush” to strike a deal with Iran, with the Israeli military claiming to have captured a strategic castle in southern Lebanon in the deepest incursion into the country in 26 years.

The comments came as US media reported that Trump requested several amendments to the preliminary deal with Iran during his meeting at the White House on Friday.

Here’s the latest on US-Iran negotiations as Israel expands its invasion of Lebanon on the 93rd day of the war against Iran:

In Iran A senior Iranian commander has warned against any further attacks on his country. “The enemy must know that any aggression against the country’s territory will result in an even more forceful response than before,” said Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, deputy army commander for coordination, according to Press TV. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it had shot down a US drone that was attempting to carry out a “hostile operation” in its territorial waters, according to Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency. Fars reported that the army unveiled its newest naval attack vessel, the 27 Rajab, during a ceremony at Enqelab Square in Tehran. The agency said the ship can reach speeds of up to 100 knots (185 km/h) and is equipped to launch long-range cruise missiles. The US military said its forces had “neutralized” a Gambian-flagged ship that was trying to head to an Iranian port. Iran has accused the United States of betraying its diplomacy by continuing its naval blockade. War diplomacy Trump told Fox News that he was in no rush to reach a deal with Iran and that the United States was getting what it wanted “slowly but surely” in ongoing negotiations. “The only guarantee I have to have is that there will be no nuclear weapons,” he told his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, in an interview on Fox News on Saturday evening. The comments came as US media reported that Trump requested several amendments to the preliminary deal with Iran during his meeting on Friday in the White House Situation Room. The New York Times reported that Trump had “toughened the terms” of the potential framework. Axios reported that the president requested “several amendments” to the preliminary agreement his envoys reached with Iran. Iranian state media reported on Saturday that a draft memorandum of understanding with the United States included a deal to unlock $12 billion in frozen assets. The report cited an “unofficial” draft of the memorandum, and a similar article broadcast by state television earlier this week was dismissed by the White House as a “fabrication.” In Lebanon The Associated Press and Reuters news agencies reported that Israeli forces captured Beaufort Castle, also known locally as Qalaat al-Shaqif, near the town of Nabatieh in southern Lebanon. The Israeli army has issued a new warning, asking residents to flee south of the Zahrani River in southern Lebanon. He said he was taking strong action against Hezbollah in the region and called on all residents south of the river to leave their homes immediately. Israeli air raids targeted the southern Lebanese towns of Arnoun, Kfar Tebnit and Kfar Remman on Sunday morning, according to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arab. Israeli shelling also hit the Kfarjouz region in the Nabatieh district and the town of Dbeibine in the Marjayoun district. Israeli military spokeswoman Ella Waweya said it had launched “a large-scale operation” in the Beaufort Ridge and Wadi al-Salouqi region of southern Lebanon. The Israeli military issued a “precautionary directive” following “the identification of launches from Lebanon towards several communities in northern Israel.” The army ordered residents to take shelter, but Israeli media reported shortly after that air raid sirens had not sounded in the area. Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has accused Israel of pursuing a “scorched earth policy” as Israeli forces expand their ground invasion and continue to advance towards the town of Nabatieh. In Israel, Israeli forces announced Sunday that they were advancing into Lebanon in expanded ground operations aimed at strengthening their military position in the south of the country, where they are fighting Iran-backed Hezbollah. A significant number of Israeli ground troops “began offensive operations aimed at expanding the forward defense line,” the Israeli military said in a statement, adding that the operation was expanding and the forces had crossed the Litani River. The Israeli army said a 21-year-old soldier was killed Saturday during a battle in southern Lebanon. Four other people were injured in the incident. In the United States, Trump said Saturday that the United States had intentionally refrained from targeting Iran’s military, arguing that past wars had shown the dangers of dismantling a country’s institutions and armed forces. He cited Iraq as an example of what he described as the failure of the American approach in past conflicts. “Look at what happened with Iraq; we did so badly, it was such a stupid thing,” he told Fox News. Congress has proposed a U.S.-Israeli military integration plan that could link the U.S. and Israeli militaries much more closely, deepening their cooperation on weapons research, production and technology.
