Trump Urges Israel to Calm Down and Stop Escalating with Iran
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Israel and Iran have been fighting for too long and no longer understand what they are doing. He emphasized the need for restraint and urged Israel to de-escalate.
U.S. President Donald Trump made a sharp statement addressing the conflict in the Middle East. In his address, he stressed that Israel must “calm down,” adding that he intends to personally work toward reducing tensions. According to him, the ongoing confrontation between Israel and Iran has become so prolonged that both sides, in his words, “no longer understand what they’re doing.”
Trump’s statement comes amid recent violations of the ceasefire. Earlier, he condemned the renewed strikes and called for the immediate observance of agreements. This time, he signaled the need for direct intervention to stabilize the situation. He stated that Israel and Iran are so deeply entrenched in the conflict that they have lost strategic clarity and are acting on autopilot.
According to Trump, the current escalation does not serve the interests of either party and only worsens the international climate. He said the U.S. will not support actions that lead to increased violence and will continue to pursue a lasting ceasefire. The president emphasized that his administration is committed to firmly resolving the situation, including applying political pressure on allies if necessary.
The statement sparked broad reaction in U.S. and international political circles. Some analysts interpreted it as a sign of a potential shift in Washington’s approach to Middle Eastern policy. At the same time, the blunt tone of the statement, including harsh criticism of the conflict’s participants, drew media attention. White House officials declined to comment, stating that the president’s position was expressed “in his characteristic manner but very clearly.”
Israeli and Iranian officials have not yet commented on Trump’s remarks. Previously, Tel Aviv claimed that its actions were aimed at preventing threats from Iran, while Tehran called the strikes a response to aggression. Despite a formal ceasefire, both sides continued exchanging strikes and accusations, undermining the agreement’s stability.
In the coming days, the U.S. administration plans to hold consultations with key allies on further steps. Trump emphasized that he will personally monitor the situation and push for an end to hostilities. A new phase of negotiations remains possible, but the conditions for renewed dialogue have yet to be established.
