US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a phone conversation following Iran’s missile strikes on Israel in response to Beirut airstrikes, as per Israel’s Kan TV news. Trump expressed his intention to advise Netanyahu against retaliation to prevent disrupting US-Iran ceasefire talks. He urged Iran to return to negotiations, claiming that an agreement was close before the missile attacks.
Trump mentioned that the missile launches hindered the negotiation process and emphasized the need to avoid further escalation. He planned to contact Netanyahu to discourage any retaliatory actions, citing that both countries had already made their moves. Iran reportedly launched multiple missile barrages towards Israel, prompting concerns of heightened tensions in the region.
Israeli sources indicated that Israel intercepted all missiles and hinted at a robust response to the attack. Despite the missile threats, there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage in Israel. The situation remains tense as Iran continues its missile barrages, triggering alarms across northern Israel.
