At a press conference during the G7 meeting in France, U.S. President Donald Trump says the United States will discuss Iran’s ballistic missiles and Tehran-aligned proxies with Gulf nations. He frames the move as a “parallel” effort to the U.S.-Iran deal. Trump’s remarks align with reporting that the discussion would cover both Iran’s missile capabilities and its regional proxy activities.
Trump also comments on Lebanon and Syria. He says Syrian President Bashar al-Assad would like to target Hezbollah inside Lebanon using “precision,” referring to Hezbollah as an Iranian proxy group. Separately, Trump says the Lebanese leader is expected to visit Washington in the coming weeks. The accounts describe these points as part of Trump’s broader statements at the G7 summit rather than as specific, newly announced agreements.
