Israel says will ‘refrain from additional attacks’ after Trump dials Netanyahu over Iran ceasefire | World News

Donald Trump called Israeli Prime Miner Benjamin Netanyahu and urged him not to retaliate against Iran, an Axios reporter said on X Tuesday, citing an Israeli official, according to Reuters.
Netanyahu reportedly told Trump that cancelling the attack was not possible, arguing that Iran had violated the US-brokered ceasefire. However, the Israeli strike would be scaled back significantly and target only a single site, rather than multiple ones.
A White House source told Axios that Trump in a phone call from Air Force One as he was leaving for the NATO summit, expressed in “exceptionally firm and direct terms” his disapproval of the planned Israeli response, which was reportedly about to be carried out fighter jets in Iran. “The president told Netanyahu what needed to happen to sustain the ceasefire. The prime miner understood the severity of the situation and the concerns President Trump expressed,” the source said.

Ultimately, Trump and Netanyahu agreed to a limited strike on a single Iranian radar installation, cancelling a broader attack.
Netanyahu’s office later confirmed this, stating: “Following President Trump’s conversation with Prime Miner Netanyahu, Israel refrained from additional attacks.” The Israeli strike was in response to Iranian missile attacks early Tuesday.
A few minutes after taking off for Europe, Trump in a post on Truth social, wrote that the ceasefire was still holding, and that Israel would hold off new attacks.
“All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran,” he wrote. “Nobody will be hurt.”Story continues below this ad
