WASHINGTON, Jun 8: Israel has halted strikes on Iran at the request of US President Donald Trump, according to a senior Israeli official cited by Channel 12 on Monday.
The official reportedly warned that if Hezbollah attacks on Israeli towns continue, Israel will respond by striking the southern suburbs of Beirut. The Channel 12 report also said Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon are expected to continue at full strength in the coming days.
In a related development, an Israeli source told Reuters that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump held a phone call earlier on Monday. The call reportedly took place before Trump posted on social media stating that Israel and Iran were seeking an immediate ceasefire.
The developments come amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing further escalation across multiple fronts in the Middle East.
