Israeli leadership declared Monday it would cease military strikes against Iran following a security cabinet session, with an Israeli official stating the halt came after President Trump made the request during a phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/p>

“At Trump’s request, we’re stopping the strikes on Iran,” the official stated.<\/p>

The official clarified that military operations would persist if Hezbollah launches attacks on northern Israeli communities, saying: “We’re continuing in Lebanon with full force according to the equation that if they fire at the communities-we’ll strike in Dahieh.”<\/p>

The decision follows Israeli military actions in the Beirut suburb of Dahieh that preceded Iran’s Sunday missile attack, during which the Islamic Republic fired 11 missiles toward Israel.<\/p>

Despite recent tensions, the Israeli official characterized Monday’s phone conversation between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as constructive.<\/p>

“Good overall. The two countries see eye to eye, despite the fact that twice we acted contrary to his public position in the last day-both in the strike in Beirut and in the response in Iran,” the official explained.<\/p>

The official emphasized that Israel maintained its stance while preserving diplomatic ties with Washington: “Israel has proven its ability to stand its ground on its right to self-defense even against the president, but without breaking the rope and while maintaining the strategic partnership. The feeling is that the current escalation is behind us.”<\/p>

Earlier Monday, Iranian news agency Fars reported that “Iran’s armed forces announced the end of military operations against Israel,” while issuing a warning that “if Israel attacks Lebanon again, we will respond more severely.”<\/p>

Prior to Iran’s statement, President Trump posted on Truth Social that “Israel and Iran want an immediate ceasefire.”<\/p>

Trump further stated that “final discussions on ‘peace’ are ongoing, but are being affected by ignorant fools who are interfering with them. The siege will continue at full force until a ‘final deal’ is reached.”<\/p>

In a separate earlier post, President Trump declared that “Israel and Iran must immediately stop the ‘firing.'”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
