Trump calls on Iran to stop missiles and urges Netanyahu to exercise restraint news

Continuous updatingcontinuous update,

Axios quoted an American official as saying that President Donald Trump held a phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, shortly after Trump called on Iran to stop launching its missiles towards Israel and return to the negotiating table, and confirmed that he would call Netanyahu and ask him not to respond to Tehran.

Trump said in statements he made on Sunday to the American Fox News Channel: “I say to Iran, you have fired your missiles and that is enough,” adding, “Go back to the negotiating table and make a deal.”

Trump indicated that he would announce reaching an agreement with Iran either Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, before Israel announced that it would confront Iranian missiles on Sunday evening.

Trump also assured Axios that the agreement with Iran will be good, and that they are “very close to reaching a final agreement,” pointing out that he does not want it to collapse due to the current escalation between Iran and Israel.

He added that both Israel and Iran “had their share” of strikes, and that the region did not need other strikes.

Tehran had warned of a retaliatory response after Israel launched raids on the southern suburb of Beirut on Sunday, ignoring an American request – days ago – to refrain from escalation.

On the other hand, Trump confirmed that the US Army is on alert in the wake of this Iranian attack, which comes in response to the Israeli occupation army’s bombing of the southern suburb of Beirut.

Regarding his response to the Israeli bombing of Beirut despite previous warnings to Iran, Trump told Fox News, “I am not happy about the Israeli attack on Beirut.”

Trump’s dissatisfaction with the Israeli raids on Beirut comes after he confirmed to the American channel that those Israeli raids “were not coordinated with the United States, and I am not happy about them.”

The Israeli attacks on Beirut came a few days after the Lebanese and Israeli governments agreed to a ceasefire during talks hosted by the United States.

The American website Axios quoted Trump as saying that he would call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ask him not to respond to Iran.

Israel announced that Iran fired missiles at it, in the first bombing of its kind since a fragile ceasefire came into effect at the beginning of last April, which further complicates mediation efforts to reach an agreement to end the war.

Israeli media reported hearing explosions in the center of the country, while Channel 12 reported the launch of 4 missiles that were intercepted, and the army indicated that an additional batch of missiles had been detected towards Israel.

The commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbia Headquarters warned that Iran would begin “devastating attacks” on Israel and its supporters if operations in Lebanon expanded or its recent actions were responded to.

The military official called on the Israelis to stop attacks on southern Lebanon and the southern suburbs of Beirut, stressing that Tehran had previously warned against targeting the occupied territories if the strikes continued or expanded.
