US President Donald Trump called on Iran to stop launching missiles at Israel and return to diplomatic discussions.
During an interview with Fox News, Trump suggested that Tehran should move away from military action and focus on reaching a negotiated settlement.
“We’re very close. I would say an agreement would be signed on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday of this coming week. And now this takes place,” Trump stated.
The US President indicated that discussions had advanced significantly and claimed that a deal could be concluded in the coming days.
The President added that the missile strikes had complicated efforts to achieve a diplomatic breakthrough.
In remarks to Axios, Trump revealed that he intended to contact Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I am 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,” he asserted.
Trump maintained that additional retaliation would only increase instability across the region.
