President Donald Trump has cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against further military action targeting Iran. Trump revealed in an interview with Axios that he told Netanyahu, "Bibi, you better be careful, or you're going to be all by yourself." The U.S. president acknowledged that Israel had delayed informing the United States about its recent strike in Iran, an operation that has since ceased but could potentially be resumed.

Bibi, you better be careful, or you're going to be all by yourself.

Trump's remarks suggest a divergence from Israel's stance amid ongoing, difficult negotiations with Iran. The U.S. president appears keen to avoid another failed attempt at reaching a peace agreement. He also disclosed that five regional nations had implored him to mediate with Netanyahu concerning recent hostilities, expressing concern and support for the deal the U.S. had brokered.

These countries are very concerned. They like the deal that we have negotiated.

Furthermore, Trump indicated that Iranian officials had reached out to the U.S. with assurances. "They contacted us and said they will not do any more shooting and asked us to tell Israel not to do any more shooting," Trump told Axios. This communication suggests a potential de-escalation pathway, contingent on reciprocal restraint from both Israel and Iran.

They contacted us and said that they will not do any more shooting and asked us to tell Israel not to do any more shooting.
