Svmuu News: In order to prevent Israel's military operations in Lebanon from interfering with the upcoming US-Iran negotiations, US President Trump has asked Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to reduce the intensity of strikes on Lebanon. According to reports, Trump spoke with Netanyahu over the phone and "sternly" stated that while the US understands Israel's security concerns, Israel should slow down its military strikes on Lebanon to safeguard the upcoming talks.
A US official revealed that this phone call was "shorter than usual." The official noted that the Trump administration had never before requested Israel to scale back its military actions against Hezbollah in Lebanon. This pressure stems from accusations by Iran and the mediator Pakistan that Israel violated the ceasefire agreement. Trump is concerned that continued strikes could affect the US-Iran ceasefire and disrupt the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. (CCTV News)
