Israeli officials are working to prevent such a move.

While there are currently no indications that Trump intends to push for reduced Israeli operations, concerns stem from the possibility that Iranian demands in negotiations with Washington could lead the Trump administration to argue that restraint in Lebanon would help advance diplomatic talks.

I told Bibi, you better be very careful with what you do, because you might soon be left alone against Iran.

Netanyahu argued that Iran had violated Israeli sovereignty and that a response was necessary. The U.S. understood Israel would respond but sought to limit the scope of the operation.

Five regional countries contacted Trump and asked him to pressure Netanyahu not to attack Iran.

Israel subsequently carried out two rounds of strikes in Iran before Tehran launched another response later that morning.

After Iran's final missile barrage, Tehran informed Washington that it was prepared for a ceasefire. As Israel prepared a larger follow-on strike, Trump called Netanyahu again and urged him to halt the operation, telling him, "You did what you did; now hold your fire; we are heading toward an agreement."

Netanyahu then returned to Israel's command bunker and ordered the planned attack canceled, despite aircraft already being prepared to launch attacks on Iran.

The violation of the ceasefire and the naval blockade were the causes of the recent tensions.

The military arena, the diplomatic arena, the arena of public participation, and the arena of serving the people are all interconnected parts of a single whole.

Diplomacy does not hinder military operations, nor do military operations hinder diplomacy. The goal of negotiations is to end the war and create lasting security, not to normalize relations with the U.S.

I assure the dear people that we will continue to defend the rights of the Iranian people with strength.

We will turn the naval blockade into yet another defeat for the enemy.

The case of Lebanon demonstrated that diplomacy, alongside military action, can push back enemies. At one time, we prevent an attack on Beirut through threats of retaliation and by suspending negotiations; at another time, through military action.

The choice is not between fighting and negotiating. Rather, we must fight when the time is right and negotiate when the time is right.

This is how we can defeat the enemy and make real the idea that negotiations are a continuation of the struggle.

The timely and authoritative action of the heroic Yemeni demonstrates the intelligence of the resistance front. If necessary, others will come as well.

From the Strait of Hormuz to Bab al-Mandab and from the Persian Gulf to the Red Sea, there will be a new security belt of resistance.

The evils of the Zionist regime and America in this region will result in a reaction from the United Resistance Front.
