In two consecutive phone calls through few hours, the US President Donald Trump forced the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop attacking Iran.

The Iranian rocketry forces fired late Sunday batches of ballistic missiles at the Zionist entity in response to the Israeli air raid on Beirut’s Dahieh earlier on the same day.

Later on, Netanyahu ordered the Israeli air force to start waves of attacks on Iran, claiming that he would not allow Iran to impose new deterrence formulas on ‘Israel’ in Lebanon.

However, Trump forced Netanyahu to back off, according to media reports, which indicated that the US President tried in the first call to prevent the Zionist PM from launching any retaliatory attack.

However, Netanyahu’s insistence let Trump allow limited strikes on Iran, the reports added.
