Xinhua News Agency, Jerusalem, April 1 (Reporter Wang Zhuolun, Feng Guorui) According to a report by Israel's public broadcasting company on the 1st, Israel is concerned that U.S. President Trump may announce that military actions against Iran have "achieved results and are concluded" before negotiations have yielded clear outcomes.

The report cites an Israeli official as saying that the negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are "not making positive progress." There are divisions within the Iranian leadership on how to respond to the agreement proposed by the U.S.; some officials are inclined to respond positively, while others advocate for continuing the conflict.

The report states that the U.S. and Israel are currently coordinating a series of "high-intensity actions" that may be implemented in the coming days.

On the 1st, Trump posted on social media that Iran "just requested a ceasefire from the U.S.," but the U.S. would only "consider" it when the Strait of Hormuz is open. Later that day, according to reports from Iranian news television, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that Trump's remarks are "false and baseless."
