Axios: Trump Warned Netanyahu Against Renewed War With Iran | Arab Times (KW) | 2024-06-08 00:00:00 +0000 UTC | en

President Donald Trump cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against initiating renewed military action targeting Iran, according to a report by Axios. The warning suggests a potential shift in U.S. policy regarding Israeli operations in the region.

In an interview published Monday, Trump reportedly conveyed a stark message to Netanyahu: "Bibi, you better be careful, or you will be on your own very soon." This statement implied that Israel could experience diminished American support if it escalated into another war with Iran.

Adding to the diplomatic pressure, five Middle Eastern nations involved in mediation efforts between the U.S. and Iran reportedly implored Trump to compel Israel to cease its strikes and pursue a diplomatic resolution. Axios also reported that Trump intervened to reduce the scope of a planned Israeli operation, indicating his administration's desire to manage escalation.

Trump was also quoted as stating that Israel had informed Washington of planned operations at a very late stage. This suggests a potential lack of full transparency from Israel regarding its military actions, prompting U.S. intervention to control the situation.
