U.S. President Donald Trump warns Israel and Iran not to “blow” an emerging agreement amid new strikes in Lebanon. The Israeli military says it launches strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut, an action that could complicate efforts to finalize a deal aimed at ending the U.S.-Iran war. Trump publicly urges restraint and calls for all parties to stand down, stating that the agreement is close and arguing that additional attacks threaten the momentum toward a final settlement.
Several outlets report Trump presses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop further strikes against Lebanon while a deal is near, but Netanyahu does not comply. Iran, for its part, signals it may respond militarily, warning of consequences following the Beirut strikes. Coverage also notes that Trump had suggested a potential timeline for signing the deal on Sunday, June 14, 2026, with multiple outlets describing heightened concerns that continued strikes could undermine negotiations.
Overall reporting links Trump’s direct appeals to the timing of Israel’s Beirut operations and Iran’s warnings of retaliation, presenting the situation as a test of restraint while diplomacy proceeds.
