Trump Warns Netanyahu of Losing US Support Over Iran Attacks

Washington DC. US President Donald Trump has warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel could soon lose America's support if it continues attacks on Iran. Trump's warning comes at a time when Israel and Iran have agreed to stop the shelling and are moving forward with peace talks.

Trump has urged both sides to stop the shelling, stating that the final talks towards peace will continue. According to US media, he spoke with Netanyahu on the phone on Sunday and urged him not to carry out further attacks. In an interview, Trump said he warned Netanyahu, 'Be careful, or you may have to fight alone soon.'

The new tension began after Israel's deadly airstrike on Beirut on Sunday. In response, Iran fired missiles towards northern Israel. However, despite Trump's urging, Israel attacked Iran's air defense systems and petrochemical centers on Monday morning, while Iran targeted similar facilities in Haifa and two Israeli air bases. Most of the missiles were intercepted over the West Bank. No human casualties have been confirmed on either side.

Netanyahu, however, has stated that Israel has the full right to self-defense and warned of a forceful response if necessary. Yechiel Leiter, Israel's ambassador to the US, described the tension between the American and Israeli leadership as a normal difference of opinion, stating that Trump fully understands Israel's security concerns.

Iran, on the other hand, has stated that America is responsible for the regional tension. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghai said that America would be directly responsible for any incident that violates the ceasefire.

Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts are ongoing. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has said that Tehran is still at the negotiating table. Iran's Ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeed Iravani, expressed hope that a consensus would be reached soon, with the US and Iran exchanging views through Pakistan's mediation.

Meanwhile, Yemen's Houthi rebels have also been drawn into the tension. They have fired missiles towards Israel and declared a complete ban on the movement of Israeli ships in the Red Sea. Similarly, the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that at least 14 people were killed in the Tyre, Nabatieh, and Marwanieh areas as Israeli attacks continued in southern Lebanon.
