Trump warns Netanyahu against resuming war with Iran

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, cautioning him against reigniting conflict with Iran. Trump told Israeli media outlet Axios that Netanyahu should "be careful, or you're going to end up being very sorry, very fast," implying Israel could be left to face Iran alone.

This warning follows a period of heightened tensions, including Israeli strikes on targets in southern Beirut associated with Hezbollah and subsequent Iranian missile attacks on Israel. Despite these escalations, Trump had reportedly urged Netanyahu in a phone call not to retaliate against the Iranian attacks. However, Israel proceeded with counter-strikes, targeting defense systems and a petrochemical facility in Iran, which the Israeli military claims is used for ballistic missile production.

Trump's intervention appears driven by concern that renewed conflict could jeopardize ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and Iran aimed at reaching a definitive agreement to end hostilities. He has previously expressed optimism about progress in these talks. The recent exchanges between Israel and Iran mark the first direct military actions between the two nations since an April 8 ceasefire, complicating diplomatic efforts.

Bibi, you must be careful, otherwise you will very soon be left to yourself.
