U.S. President Donald Trump has weighed in on the latest escalation between Iran and Israel, stating that the missile attacks launched by Tehran "won't help negotiations" aimed at ending the ongoing conflict. Speaking to Fox News reporter Trey Yingst, Trump advised Iran to cease its military actions and return to diplomatic discussions.
"Certainly, it's not going to help negotiations," Trump said by phone, referring to the missile barrage launched by Iran against Israel on Sunday. Despite the increased hostilities, the president indicated a continued willingness to pursue a peace agreement, urging Iran, "You've fired your missiles, that's enough. Go back to the table and make a deal."
Ciertamente, no va a ayudar a las negociaciones
This marks Trump's first public comment following Iran's breach of the ceasefire agreement established with the U.S. in April. The Israeli military reported successfully intercepting all incoming Iranian missiles. Meanwhile, Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel's National Security Minister, posted on X, "Tehran should burn tonight," reflecting a hardline stance.
Trump also expressed his disapproval of Israel's earlier bombing of Hezbollah strongholds in southern Beirut, describing it as one of Iran's "red lines" for preserving regional tranquility. "I'm not happy with that," the president stated in his brief remarks to Fox News, indicating a complex U.S. position amidst the escalating Middle Eastern crisis.
