US President Donald Trump warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop strikes on Iran, saying he would otherwise be 'on your own very soon.'
According to Axios, Israel was preparing for a massive wave of strikes on Iran, but Trump called Netanyahu and asked him to stand down.
The report added that Netanyahu agreed to cancel the strikes after the call, and hostilities between Iran and Israel have since halted.
The incident highlights the growing divergence between the strategic interests of the US and Israel, with Trump seeking to end the war to stay politically alive in the US, while Netanyahu needs the war to continue to stay politically alive in Israel.
