Trump Claims Israel Will Not Engage in War with Iran, Amidst Conflicting Statements
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his assertion that Israel will not re-engage in warfare with Iran. This statement comes amid Trump’s ongoing pattern of inconsistent remarks on the matter.
Trump further speculated that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu would not pursue another conflict with Iran, suggesting that “things are going well right now and Iran is doing what it needs to do.”
These declarations from Trump emerge despite his previous calls for Netanyahu to refrain from retaliating following Iran’s punitive strike on Israeli military installations. This action by Iran was in response to Israeli assaults on Beirut. However, shortly after Trump’s appeal, Israel launched strikes into Iranian territory, targeting unspecified locations.
In parallel, U.S. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy highlighted the contradiction in Trump’s statements. Murphy observed that when Trump claims to have contacted Netanyahu and urged him not to respond to Iranian attacks, yet Netanyahu proceeds with a response mere hours later, it constitutes a growing insult [to the United States].
