Trump asks Netanyahu not to retaliate against Iran

President Donald Trump has intervened in the escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from retaliating against Iran's recent missile attack. Trump announced his intention to call Netanyahu directly to convey this message, aiming to de-escalate the situation and facilitate a negotiated settlement.

"I'm going to call Netanyahu right now and tell him not to counterattack," Trump stated, according to Fox News. He also addressed Iran, advising them to cease their missile attacks and return to the negotiating table. "What I would suggest to Iran is: you've launched your missiles. Enough. Come back to the table and get a deal done," the U.S. president added.

Trump highlighted that the Iranian missile attack resulted in no injuries, a detail he used to argue against further escalation. "Nobody was injured in the missile attack. If Netanyahu responds, this will continue and continue. We are very close to a deal to end the war and it will be a good deal. I don't want this to spoil the deal," he told Israel's N12 television.

Speaking to Israel's Kan public television later, Trump suggested that Israel had already responded adequately. "I think Israel has responded quite a bit. There is no need for there to be more response. We can achieve peace after 3,000 years," he argued, expressing a desire to avoid further conflict and move towards a lasting peace.
