Summary
2-3 hours before a planned signing, Trump said Israel’s strike on a Hezbollah command center in Beirut delayed a U.S.-Iran peace memorandum by several hours.
Trump said he told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to launch further strikes and plans to ask Iran not to answer with missile fire toward Israel.
The Israeli attack followed three drones launched from Lebanon into Israeli airspace; two exploded near Shlomi in the western Galilee and a third hit a military zone inside Israel.
Trump argued the Lebanese attack caused no casualties and should not derail a deal he says could extend peace to Lebanon if all sides stand down.
