Trump Warns Netanyahu: 'You Will Find Yourself Very Soon on Your Own' Over Iran Attacks

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he risks isolating himself if he persists with attacks on Iran. Trump conveyed this message in a conversation with Axios, stating, "Bibi, you would do well to be careful, otherwise you will find yourself very soon on your own."

Bibi, you would do well to be careful, otherwise you will find yourself very soon on your own.

The remarks come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, following Iran's ballistic missile attack on Israel. While Trump publicly called for a ceasefire, Israel struck targets in Iran for the first time since an April armistice. Iran described its actions as retaliation for Israeli strikes on Lebanon's capital.

Trump emphasized that he makes all the decisions regarding potential U.S. engagement with Iran. He told Netanyahu to avoid actions that could affect ongoing negotiations, including continued operations in Lebanon. Trump also indicated that Netanyahu would have to accept any agreement the United States reaches with Iran, stating, "He will have no choice. I make all the decisions. I decide what we are going to do. He does not decide."

He will have no choice. I make all the decisions. I decide what we are going to do. He does not decide.

Israel informed the United States "very late" about Sunday's attacks on Iran, which have now ceased. However, Netanyahu has suggested that the attacks could resume. Trump also mentioned that several regional countries and Iranian officials have expressed a desire to de-escalate the conflict, with Iran reportedly willing to halt attacks if Israel ceases its operations. Trump reiterated his belief that Iran desires a peace agreement, which he described as "phenomenal" and capable of preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and stopping uranium enrichment.

Israel and Iran must immediately stop shooting at each other.
