The latest flare-up began Sunday, when Israel struck targets in Beirut after rockets were fired at northern Israel. Iran responded with missile barrages toward Israel, and Israel later carried out airstrikes on targets in western and central Iran.<\/p>\n

Trump said he intervened to stop the fighting and protect ongoing talks between Washington and Tehran.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’ve been a very tough team, and I think we are winning that battle, but you’re really going to win it over the next two weeks when we declare total victory,\u201d Trump said during a telerally for Sen. Lindsey Graham. \u201cIt’ll be a total victory. It’ll happen very soon, and oil prices will come tumbling down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier Monday, Trump called on Israel and Iran to stop fighting \u201cimmediately.\u201d By Monday evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the fighting with Iran had stopped \u201cfor now,\u201d while warning Israel would retaliate if attacked.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll I did is say we have to use sense. We’re very close to signing a very powerful deal, a very good deal,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

Asked why Israel launched missiles after he had told Netanyahu not to attack Iran, Trump said the strike was already underway by the time the two leaders spoke.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey had already gone,\u201d he said, referring to the missiles.<\/p>\n

Trump also sought to portray himself as the decisive figure in the relationship with Netanyahu.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I tell him to do something, he does it,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

Iran said Monday it was ending its attacks on Israel, but warned of a \u201ccrushing\u201d response if Israeli military operations in Lebanon continue. The Iranian military said Israel and its allies \u201cshould have learned\u201d lessons from Tehran’s response.<\/p>\n

The pause leaves open whether the truce can hold. Israel\u2019s fighting in Lebanon, Iran\u2019s backing of Hezbollah and the U.S.-Iran talks are now tied together in a volatile regional standoff, with Trump claiming a deal is close and Netanyahu warning that Israel will respond to any renewed attack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The latest flare-up began Sunday, when Israel struck targets in Beirut after rockets were fired at northern Israel.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":483330,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-483329","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483329"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483329\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
