Israel, Iran must ‘immediately stop “shooting”‘ - Trump

Former U.S. President Donald Trump called on Israel and Iran to "immediately stop 'shooting'" as tensions escalated between the two nations following reciprocal attacks. The statement came after Iran launched a missile strike, with reports suggesting Israel subsequently targeted military sites within Iran.

Trump's remarks, posted on his social media platform Truth Social, urged both sides to halt the exchange of fire. He also indicated that he had advised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against retaliating for Iran's earlier missile strikes. This intervention from the former U.S. leader adds another layer to the complex regional dynamics.

Adding to the diplomatic maneuvering, Trump also stated that Iran and Israel intended to establish an "immediate ceasefire." He further commented on ongoing "peace" negotiations, noting that "final negotiations" were in progress but cautioned that "ignorance or stupidity" could impede progress. A blockade, he specified, would remain in effect until a "final agreement" is reached.
