The US President, who had been orchestrating a fragile agreement intended to stabilize the region and secure the Strait of Hormuz, expressed open disbelief when advisors reported the Israeli aerial assault on a Hezbollah headquarters. The attack killed three people and injured six, forcing a delay in the diplomatic proceedings that Trump characterized as a failure of judgment by the Israeli Prime Minister.
Trump confirmed he confronted Netanyahu directly, venting his frustration over the timing of the strike, which occurred despite previous assurances from both Israel and Lebanon to refrain from hostilities. While Trump urged all parties to stand down to preserve the emerging pact, the situation remains volatile. Iran has already vowed retaliation, with Gen. Mohammad Jafar Asadi promising that the strikes would not go unanswered, while Iranian negotiator Mohammad Ghalibaf questioned the utility of continued talks if the United States cannot enforce its commitments on the ground.
