US President Donald Trump has confirmed that he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "f***ing crazy" during a heated phone conversation over Israel's military operations in Lebanon. Speaking on a podcast, Trump said he was "perturbed" by the continued fighting and urged Netanyahu to stop military actions that were complicating US diplomatic efforts with Iran. The exchange reportedly came as Washington sought to keep fragile nuclear talks with Tehran on track. According to reports, Trump warned that Israel's attacks risked increasing the country's international isolation. Despite discussions on de-escalation, Israel and Hezbollah later exchanged fresh attacks, raising fears of a wider regional conflict. Trump also defended recent US military action against Iran, saying Tehran must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons. (PC: India Today)
