World leaders rushed to endorse US President Donald Trump’s proposed agreement with Iran, with the leaders of France, Britain, Germany, Italy, the United Nations, Qatar, and other regional powers praising the framework as a historic diplomatic breakthrough.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres hailed the agreement as a critical step toward ending the conflict, while European leaders pledged to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, support implementation of the deal, and advance negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.

In Jerusalem, however, the reaction was dramatically different. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu convened an emergency security cabinet meeting as ministers warned the agreement leaves Iran’s ballistic missile program, terror proxies, and regional influence virtually untouched. Senior Israeli officials fear the deal relieves pressure on Tehran without dismantling the threats that triggered the conflict, exposing a widening gap between Israel and much of the international community.

“You better be very careful with what you do because you might soon be left alone against Iran,” Trump warned.

President Donald Trump reportedly warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a tense phone call on Monday that further military escalation against Iran could leave Israel increasingly isolated, as new details emerged about growing disagreements between Jerusalem and Washington during the latest regional crisis.

According to Israel’s Channel 12, Trump told Netanyahu, “You better be very careful with what you do because you might soon be left alone against Iran.”

The reported warning came after a dramatic 24-hour period that began Sunday when Israel struck a Hezbollah command center in Beirut’s Dahiyeh district following renewed rocket fire on northern Israeli communities.

According to Israeli media reports, concern in Washington emerged almost immediately after the strike. American officials reportedly conveyed messages to Jerusalem warning that Iran was serious about responding and cautioning that the attack could trigger a broader regional escalation.

Israeli officials pushed back on the concerns, reportedly arguing that the operation had been measured and that Israel could not ignore continued attacks on northern communities.

Hours later, Iran followed through on its warnings, launching 11 ballistic missiles toward Israel on Sunday night in what Tehran described as retaliation for the Beirut strike.

The Iranian attack prompted a new round of consultations between Jerusalem and Washington as the Trump administration sought to prevent the confrontation from spiraling further.

Publicly, Trump repeatedly urged restraint.

“The Iranian strikes didn’t hurt anybody. Hopefully Israel is not going to retaliate,” Trump said Sunday evening. “I am going to call Bibi right now and tell him not to retaliate.”

The president also emphasized that he believed negotiations with Tehran were nearing a breakthrough.

“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,” Trump said.

Despite those appeals, Israel launched two waves of retaliatory strikes across Iran early Monday morning, targeting military facilities, air defense systems, missile-related infrastructure, and economic assets linked to the regime. The operation included strikes on ballistic missile launch sites as well as other strategic targets.

The reported tension between Trump and Netanyahu reflects broader differences over how to handle Iran. While Washington has focused on preserving negotiations and preventing a wider conflict, Israeli officials have argued that attacks launched directly from Iran or by its regional proxies must be met with a forceful military response.

Prime Minister Netanyahu made that position clear in a televised address Monday evening.

“They thought they would fire at Israel from Lebanese territory and from Iran, and we would not act,” Netanyahu said. “That did not happen, and it will not happen.”

Netanyahu said he ordered strikes in Beirut after Hezbollah fired on Israel and later authorized attacks throughout Iran following Tehran’s missile barrage.

While Iran later announced it was halting its missile operation and both sides signaled a pause in hostilities, the reported exchanges between Washington and Jerusalem highlighted the intense diplomatic pressure surrounding one of the most dangerous confrontations between Israel and Iran in recent years.

Continue the economic pressure. Do not give the regime relief. Arm and support the Iranian people so they can stand up and not be rounded up, tortured, and executed.

The Iranian regime is playing its game again: drag everything out to stay in power until the American public grows tired of high gasoline prices, or until the November midterm elections, when the Democrats might win, or until 2029 when President Donald J. Trump’s term finally ends and he is replaced, with luck, by an invertebrate.

Iran’s regime has been using two tactics. It says, “We need time. We are, because of the strikes, fractured and our leadership divided.”

Or, as Vice President J.D. Vance naively noted on its behalf, it says it does not know what it wants.

“The Iranians aren’t themselves quite clear in what direction they want to go,” Vance, with a straight face, told reporters at the White House; “they are also just a fractured country.”

That is exactly what the regime wants: that you are dumb enough to believe that. The Iranian regime knows precisely what it wants.

It wants to stay in power to continue its anti-Americanism, anti-Semitism, anti-Westernism, and anti-its-own-people-ism.

The regime wants to revive its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs; restore its terrorist proxies, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis; try to create another noose of death around Israel; threaten Europe and eventually the United States; suppress, kill, and execute its own people; and continue to export its fanatic ideology and Islamist revolution.

The supposed “moderates” will say, “Oh please wait for us. We are so fractured! We just want to win over the hardliners—and we are ALMOST there!” This dish has been served up for years. It works.

The second ploy is “Drag, Drag, Drag.” Drag the deals. Drag the talks. Drag the feedback. Drag the confusion. Or else Put a deal out on the table and then take it back. Then put out another deal. Then another one. Before you know it, the West will be worn down.

Please, President Trump: No president has ever had the courage to take action as you have done. You are different from everyone.

It took more than four decades for someone like you to show up to save the world. Iran’s regime has killed Americans, Arabs, and Iranians.

As the “top state sponsor of terrorism for 39 years in a row,” Iran has been terrorizing half the planet.

If this regime stays in power, essentially nothing has been accomplished. All that you have historically done will be for naught.

If Iran’s regime stays in power, it will break every agreement—with full vengeance. The world cannot wait another 50 years hoping for maybe another President Trump.

The regime—with help from China, Russia, and North Korea—will restart its nuclear program. It will impose tolls in the Strait of Hormuz. There will be no one with the guts to stop it.

The regime will ramp up assassinations abroad, support its proxies, attack Israel more aggressively, and race again toward nuclear weapons.

The regime is hoping to wait out your term.

Please, President Trump, do not leave this regime in place or replace it with an equally brutal military one.

Continue the economic pressure. Do not give the regime relief. Arm and support the Iranian people so they can stand up and not be rounded up, tortured, and executed again.

Do not listen to the liberal media outlets that are telling you to stop, de-escalate, or accept 20-year fake “moratoriums” or other idiotic half-measures.

Your trusted “negotiator,” Pakistan, is a long-time supporter of Iran. It wants to see the regime survive.

President Trump: For the world, for humanity, for Western civilization, please do not leave this regime in place—or a secular military one that is just as fierce. We cannot wait another 50 years for someone like you again.

New details revealed by Axios suggest the proposed 60-day ceasefire extension between the US and Iran could include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the removal of Iranian naval mines, and partial sanctions relief in exchange for limits on Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

According to the draft framework, Iran would allow free navigation through the strategic waterway without tolls, while the US would ease some sanctions and lift its blockade on Iranian ports, allowing Tehran to resume oil exports.

The reported deal would also address the Lebanon front, with US officials saying the war between Israel and Hezbollah could end if “Hezbollah behaves” and both sides maintain the ceasefire.

However, major issues, including Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile and long-term nuclear capabilities, reportedly remain unresolved and are expected to dominate future negotiations.
