US President Donald Trump calls for restraint after Israel launches fresh airstrikes on Beirut, urging all parties to “stand down” from the fighting. Multiple outlets report that Trump’s remarks come as mediators seek to conclude negotiations for a preliminary US-Iran peace deal. The potential agreement is described as intended to bring an end to the Middle East conflict that has been ongoing for about three months, according to the reporting.
In coverage of Sunday’s developments, Trump is said to have played down the significance of the new Israeli strikes while still calling for de-escalation. The messages emphasize that the next steps in the talks depend on avoiding further escalation between regional actors.
The reports are consistent that Trump links his call for restraint to efforts to secure a pact for regional peace, and that he frames the immediate priority as preventing additional violence while negotiations progress. The outlets provide the same basic timeline: fresh airstrikes on Beirut, Trump’s response urging restraint, and ongoing mediator efforts to advance a preliminary US-Iran agreement.
