Trump: Israel should not have attacked Beirut; "very close" to a US-Iran agreement that would bring peace to Lebanon.

ME AI reports that US President Trump posted on social media today (June 14) that the Israeli attack on Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, "should not have happened," "especially on this special day when we are so close to reaching a peace agreement with Iran." Trump stated, "Israel has the right to defend itself against threats, but the attack it responded with was so small and pointless, with no one injured or killed, and should never have disrupted this important process. We are very close to reaching an agreement that will bring peace to the region—including Lebanon—and all parties should exercise restraint. Israel should not launch any more attacks anywhere in Lebanon, but no other party, including Hezbollah, should launch any more attacks against Israel. This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace—don't mess it up!" (Xinhua News Agency, CCTV International News) (Source: ME)
