Donald Trump's Reaction to the Beirut Strike and the Iran Peace Deal
Donald Trump got really angry. He sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about that Beirut strike on Sunday. He said he was "so pissed off" by the decision. That’s what came out in remarks shared with journalist Barak Ravid of Axios .
Apparently, this happened during a phone call. Some expletive-laden comments were made to the Israeli leader. Trump questioned Netanyahu's judgment hard. He asked why Bibi had to launch a fucking attack. He emphasized that he let him know about his frustration. That Netanyahu just doesn't have good judgment. It’s plain.
Then there was the peace deal with Iran. Trump insisted it was still moving forward. It was supposed to be signed within hours, despite the Israeli strike hitting Beirut. But the strike messed things up. It briefly delayed the whole process.
"It shook it up," Trump said. "It delayed the signing by a few hours. It was supposed to be now. Now it is scheduled for a few hours from now." That’s how he framed it. A little bit of chaos injected into serious talks.
The strike itself hit Beirut's southern suburbs. This happened while everyone expected a US–Iran deal, something meant to end the war, was about to happen fast. Iran kept pushing this idea. They insisted that stopping the fighting in Lebanon had to be part of any bigger aGreement with the US. It’s always been that sticking points.
Reports suggest this fiery exchange followed Trump posting on Truth Social. He basically rebuked Netanyahu there for the latest attacks happening in Lebanon. Israel claimed those strikes were aimed at Hezbollah targets, but Trump was focused on the disruption.
He said the strike "should not have happened." And he warned it risked completely derailing that potential peace aGreement. It felt like a massive derailment to him.
Trump keeps suggesting things are close with Iran. He’s been pushing that idea for weeks. Now he says the deal is still reachable. He told everyone not to "blow it." Don't mess up what’s almost there.
He went on to elaborate, trying to make sense of the situation, or maybe just venting. He said Israel has a right to defend itself from threats. That part made some sense. But he immediately shifted focus. The attack they were responding to? He called it very small. Meaningless. Nobody got hurt. No injuries. No deaths. And that shouldn't have messed with this important process.
"We are very close to a deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon," he wrote. "And all sides should stand down." There should be no more attacks from Israel anywhere in Lebanon. But there also needs to be no more attacks by anyone else, especially Hezbollah, against Israel. It's a whole messy loop of responsibility.
Tehran keeps pushing back on this idea too. They insist that any aGreement stopping the wider conflict has to include what’s happening down in Lebanon. The situation with Israel striking Iran-backed Hezbollah groups matters. That parallel reality needs to be addressed somehow. It just feels like an endless tangle, doesn't it?
