Fox News host Jesse Watters expressed skepticism regarding President Donald Trump's assertion that a peace deal with Iran is imminent. During a segment on 'The Five,' Watters noted that despite Trump's claims of a deal being 'very close,' recent missile exchanges between Israel and Iran have complicated the situation. He remarked on the president's vague timeline for peace, stating, 'He keeps saying we’re very close, we’re days away—and I don’t know what that means.' Watters also highlighted the ongoing tensions, including Iran downing a U.S. Apache helicopter, which prompted a U.S. response. Trump has made similar claims about the peace deal multiple times since March 23, according to CNN. Watters' colleague, Greg Gutfeld, and fellow host Laura Ingraham also commented on the situation, with Ingraham seeking clarification on the Iranian military's status. The White House did not respond to requests for comment.
