President Donald Trump accused Israel of sabotaging a peace deal with Iran after its navy said it had attacked Hezbollah targets in Lebanon on Sunday.
Trump took to social media on Sunday to denounce the latest assaults in Beirut’s southern suburbs. Earlier on Sunday, Lebanon’s Civil Defense Ministry said Israel’s assaults had killed three people and wounded six others.
“This morning’s attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran. Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it was responding to was very small and meaningless, nobody was hurt, injured, or killed, and should not disrupt this important process,” Trump wrote.
“We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down. There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel. This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace — Let’s not blow it!” he added.
Israel’s assault on Lebanon got here after it accused Hezbollah of violating ceasefire agreements by launching three projectiles toward communities in northern Israel.

“The IDF has now attacked terrorist targets of the Hezbollah terrorist organization in the Dahiyeh neighborhood of Beirut, in response to Hezbollah’s firing into Israeli territory,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz, said in a joint assertion.
Hezbollah didn’t immediately remark on the assaults. However, Lebanese security sources said the strike appeared to contain two missiles.
Washington and Tehran close to peace deal
Pakistan, a key mediator between the U.S. and Iran, said a deal to end the warfare was nearer than ever, with President Trump asserting Saturday that it will be “signed tomorrow.” The president added that the Strait of Hormuz would open immediately after signing.

Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said a deal was anticipated to be finalized within 24 hours. Each facet was anticipated to signal electronically. Pakistan’s overseas ministry said the signing ceremony was scheduled for Sunday but didn’t present particulars.
Iran overseas ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei in statements carried by state media said the signing “will not happen tomorrow,” but “the likelihood of finalizing the memorandum of understanding in the coming days is high.”
A tenuous ceasefire has been in place since April 7. Trump has asserted a number of occasions in latest weeks the international locations have been on the cusp of a deal. However, Iran has long expressed wariness in negotiations, mentioning that earlier talks with the U.S. last yr and early this yr ended with assaults by the U.S. and Israel.
Iran’s overseas ministry spokesperson said the memorandum of understanding under dialogue was centered on ending the warfare and “at this stage, it has been decided that there will be no discussion of the nuclear issue.”
Iran’s nuclear program and extremely enriched uranium have long been at the middle of tensions with the U.S. and Israel and an worldwide source of concern.
Trump on social media asserted that “when all is calm,” the U.S. would go in and “downblend and destroy” the enriched uranium in Iran or in the U.S.

Trump has repeatedly disagreed with Israel in latest weeks
President Trump’s Sunday post shouldn’t be the first time he has strongly disagreed with Israel. Earlier this month, reviews revealed that the American president called the Israeli prime minister “f—– crazy,” over his handling of the warfare.
“What the f— are you doing?” Trump reportedly told Netanyahu in an intense cellphone call this month.
“You’re f—– crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this,” the president continued, unnamed members of the administration told the news outlet.
Trump confirmed the cellphone call during a pre-taped podcast interview, dismissing that his feedback got here from anger: “I wouldn’t say angry. I was a little bit perturbed at his constantly fighting with Lebanon, you know.”
Netanyahu dismissed reviews about a tense relationship with Trump, likening the American and Israeli administrations to a household.
“Sometimes we have, as in the best of families, you have these tactical disagreements. We always find a way to work them out, and we do so as great friends. We can disagree in the morning and by the afternoon we have common action,” Netanyahu said during an interview.
