US President Donald Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against escalating military action against Iran, cautioning that Israel could become increasingly isolated if it resumed large-scale strikes. The warning followed Israeli attacks on Hezbollah-linked targets in Beirut and subsequent Iranian missile launches against Israel, raising fears of a broader regional conflict. Trump reportedly pressed Netanyahu to avoid further retaliation, arguing that negotiations with Iran were close to a breakthrough. While Israel conducted limited strikes and Iran responded with additional missile fire, both sides later appeared to step back. The episode highlighted growing differences between Washington’s diplomatic approach and Israel’s security strategy. (PC: X)
