US President Donald Trump says he warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel could find itself “alone against Iran” if the conflict escalated into a broader war.

Speaking to Israel’s Channel 12, Trump claimed he urged Netanyahu not to respond to Iran’s missile attack and later worked to reduce the scope of Israel’s strike on Iranian targets. Trump also said Iran informed Washington it would stop attacking Israel and asked the US to persuade Jerusalem to halt its operations, adding that he still believes a nuclear deal with Tehran remains possible.
