US President Donald Trump warns Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of potential solo action if attacks on Iran continue. Israel and Iran have agreed to pause attacks.

US President Donald Trump has warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he might find himself fighting alone if Israel continues its attacks on Iran. The warning came as both countries agreed to pause their attacks following a recent escalation. Trump demanded that both sides stop fighting and said final negotiations towards peace would proceed.

Trump's Warning

Trump warned Netanyahu about the consequences of continuing the war, saying 'Bibi, you better be careful, or you will be on your own very soon'. He also called Netanyahu and told him to stop the strikes. The warning came after Israel's deadly bombardment of Lebanon's capital, Beirut, and Iran's response with a wave of missiles at northern Israel.

Escalation and Response

The flare-up began on Sunday, triggered by Israel's bombardment of Beirut. Iran responded with missiles, and Israel launched attacks on Iranian air defence systems and a petrochemical plant. Iran retaliated by hitting a facility in Haifa and targeting two Israeli airbases. Many missiles were intercepted over the occupied West Bank.

Reactions and Negotiations

Netanyahu said Israel has a right to self-defence and will respond with full force if Iran resumes attacks. Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson blamed the US for the escalation, saying Washington is directly responsible. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran is still at the negotiating table, and Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called for restraint.
