Should Iran refrain from further missile attacks on Israel?
Earlier Sunday, Israel announced it struck a Hezbollah command center in Lebanon in response to rocket attacks on communities in northern Israel. Iran has threatened retaliation against Israel over strikes against the radical Islamic terrorist group.
Israel began its latest campaign against Hezbollah on March 2, after the Iranian proxy launched rockets and suicide drones at Israel following the start of the U.S.’s Operation Epic Fury, according to the IDF.
President Donald Trump previously announced a ceasefire deal between the United States and Iran on April 7, hours before a deadline for the Iranian regime to agree to terms expired. Trump also pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to maintain a ceasefire, saying in a Monday post to Truth Social that the two sides had agreed to stop attacks.
Trump also spoke with Netanyahu in a Sunday phone call, according to Axios reporter Barak Ravid.
“It’s certainly not going to help negotiations,” Trump said in reaction to Iran’s Sunday strikes to Fox News Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst, noting the attack would complicate ongoing negotiations.
“We’re very close. I would say an agreement would be signed on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of this coming week. And now this takes place,” he added.
“You’ve shot your missiles, that’s enough,” Trump also reportedly said, addressing Iran. “Get back to the table and make a deal.”
United States Central Command and Netanyahu did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
