Iran unleashes missile barrages on Israel, threatens US targets in sudden escalation | Fox News
President Donald Trump said Sunday that Israel should not retaliate against Iran following it’s missile barrage, arguing that further action could jeopardize ongoing negotiations.
“We don’t need another one,” Trump told Axios after the Iranian attack before saying he planned to call Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“The Iranian strikes didn’t hurt anybody. Hopefully Israel is not going to retaliate,” Trump told the outlet.
“If Bibi strikes them back, it’s just gonna keep going like the last 47 years, or the last 3,000 years,” the president added.
Trump reiterated that Washington was close to reaching an agreement and warned that escalating tensions could derail the effort.
“We are very close to a final deal with Iran. It is going to be a good deal. I don’t want it to blow up because of what is happening now,” he said, adding that he was going to “call Bibi right now and tell him not to retaliate.”
“Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike, and Iran had its strike. We don’t need another one,” Trump said.
