  "textContent": "\n\n\nDonald Trump has issued a stern warning to Benjamin Netanyahu after Israel and Iran exchanged strikes.\n\nThe US President told the Israeli leader on Monday that if strikes between the two countries were to resume, Israel would be left without US military support.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nIn a phone interview, Mr Trump told Axios: \"I said, 'Bibi, you better be careful, or you will be on your own very soon'.\"\n\nAfter Iran launched missiles at Israel on Sunday evening, Mr Trump initially called Mr Netanyahu to warn him to not retaliate, saying he would either reach a deal with Iran in a few days which would make strikes unnecessary - or wouldn't, and lead strikes on Iran himself.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nTRENDING\n\nStories\n\nVideos\n\nYour Say\n\nOne US source said the phone interview between the two leaders was \"polite\", and another said \"nobody shouted\".\n\nThe call was much calmer than one a few days earlier, where Mr Trump is understood to have told Mr Netanyahu he was \"f***ing crazy\" as he threatened strikes on Lebanon's capital Beirut.\n\nThose strikes would go ahead, killing two people and wounding 20 according to Lebanon health's ministry.\n\nAn Israeli source said the Israel Defence Forces notified CENTCOM ahead of the strike in Beirut, but not the White House.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nMr Netanyahu argued on the call that if Israel did not fire retaliatory strikes - which ended the ceasefire - it would have sent the message Iran had the upper hand and could deter the US and Israel from taking military action.\n\nThe call concluded without a clear decision from the 76-year-old Israeli Prime Minister, but some US officials felt Mr Trump had been able to buy more time.\n\nAn Israeli source said that while Mr Netanyahu understood the President was against retaliatory strikes \"it was not a firm 'don't'\".\n\nA US official added: \"There is no way Bibi could have interpreted what the president told him as an agreement.\n\n\"He was expressly told the president didn't support it, but he does what he does.\"\n\n### LATEST ON THE IRAN WAR:\n\n\n\n\n  * Iran and Israel announce end of strikes against each other after Donald Trump's intervention\n  * US issues withering verdict on Keir Starmer's mission to unclog Strait of Hormuz\n  * Kuwait airport ablaze after Iranian drone strike in major ceasefire violation\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe US President said the US Government was given \"very late notice\" about Sunday's strikes.\n\n\"They were already on their way. But eventually I had [the Israeli strike] limited,\" he said.\n\nAnd an Israeli official said Israel's Prime Minister and other officials spoke to Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sunday night in order to reach an agreement on which targets would be attacked.\n\nIsrael struck targets in the biggest petrochemical facility in Iran and other targets in Tehran, leading to several rounds of strikes and counterstrikes, verging on all-out war.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nThe IDF said in a statement: \"The Israeli Air Force struck military targets belonging to the Iranian terror regime in western and central Iran.\"\n\nMr Trump added that five countries in the region urged him to press Mr Netanyahu to stop the strikes.\n\nOn Monday, the President called the Israeli Prime Minister and warned Israel could be \"on your own very soon\".\n\nAn Israeli source said there were disagreements on the call, but eventually Mr Netanyahu agreed to cancel further strikes, which were set to be the biggest wave on Iran since April - so long as Tehran also stood down.\n\nThe President has also reiterated claims that Iran is on the verge of making a peace deal and could sign one soon.\n\n\"It is going to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon and stop enrichment. It is a phenomenal deal. We are getting everything we wanted,\" Mr Trump said.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
