President Trump reportedly took Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to task during a Monday phone call over the latter’s military campaign in Lebanon.
Axios reported, citing two U.S. officials and a third source briefed on the call, that Trump called Netanyahu “crazy” and accused him of ingratitude.
At one point, Trump reportedly yelled at Netanyahu, “What the f— are you doing?”
The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.
Earlier Monday, Netanyahu ordered the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to strike Hezbollah targets in the Dahiyeh district of Beirut. Israel and Hezbollah have engaged in fighting since October 2023, despite a ceasefire that began in November 2024.
Officials in Iran, including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, have said that Israeli strikes in Lebanon constitute a violation of the ceasefirethat Washington and Tehran agreed to on April 7. Trump said Monday that talks between his administration and the Islamic Republic on a lasting peace are ongoing.
“The ceasefire between Iran and the US is unequivocally a ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon,” Araghchi wrote Monday on the social platform X. “Its violation on one front is a violation of the ceasefire on all fronts. The US and Israel are responsible for the consequences of any violation.”
After the phone call with Netanyahu, which he touted as “productive,” Trump said that no Israeli troops will head to Beirut….
President Trump said on Monday that Israel and Hezbollah had agreed to end their attacks on each other, and the Lebanese government said a new cease-fire between the enemies was taking shape, just hours after threats by Israel and Iran indicated that fighting would escalate.
But Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, later issued a statement that made no mention of a new cease-fire, though he appeared to back off an immediate threat to strike the southern outskirts of Beirut, a stronghold of Iran’s ally, Hezbollah.
“I spoke with President Trump tonight, and told him that if Hezbollah doesn’t cease its attacks on our cities and civilians — Israel will strike terror targets in Beirut,” Mr. Netanyahu said. “This position of ours remains.” He added that the Israeli military “will continue to operate as planned in southern Lebanon.”
Hezbollah did not comment on Mr. Trump’s statements. Lebanon’s government — which does not include or control Hezbollah — issued a statement saying that it had “received confirmation that Hezbollah had agreed to the U.S. proposal for a mutual cessation of attacks.” And a prominent Lebanese politician, Nabih Berri, who has acted as an intermediary between Hezbollah and the United States, said the group was prepared to accept a cease-fire.
Mr. Trump’s post on social media said that he had spoken with Mr. Netanyahu and, indirectly, with Hezbollah. “Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel,” Mr. Trump wrote.
The fighting had seemed poised to worsen earlier in the day, with competing threats that seemed to signal that the tenuous negotiations in the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran could collapse. Iran has insisted that any truce apply also to Lebanon. According to two senior Iranian officials, Iran had warned the United States, through intermediaries that it would suspend negotiations to end the war if Israel attacked southern Beirut. The officials asked their names not be used because they were discussing sensitive information.
Mr. Netanyahu had said he had ordered Israel’s military to attack Hezbollah in the southern outskirts of Beirut, Lebanon’s capital, an area known as Dahiya. The Israeli military told residents of Dahiya to evacuate the area, prompting thousands to flee. But several hours later, there was no sign of an attack there.
Iran’s military then threatened that if Israel carried out attacks in Dahiya, Israel itself would come under attack, and advised residents of northern Israel to evacuate. The military’s statement, reported by the official state broadcaster IRIB, did not explicitly say who would conduct attacks on Israel. Iran launched missiles and drones at Israel in the early part of the war, but has not done so in almost two months.
Here’s what else we’re covering:
-
Energy markets: Global markets convulsed after a unconfirmed Iranian media report that Iran was pulling out of peace talks, with oil prices rising sharply and remaining high throughout the day. The international benchmark settled up 4 percent on the day, near $95 a barrel. Read more ›
-
Security Council: The U.N. Security Council called an emergency session to discuss Lebanon. Iran has demanded that any truce include an end to Israeli attacks in Lebanon, where fighting has continued during a fragile cease-fire among the United States, Israel and Iran.
-
Trump comments: Mr. Trump said on social media early Monday that criticism from Republicans and Democrats had made negotiations on a deal with Iran more difficult…
…
Hezbollah claimed several attacks on Israeli targets in south Lebanon late on Monday, hours after Donald Trump said the Iran-backed militia had agreed that “all shooting will stop”.
In one statement, Hezbollah said that in the town of Hadatha, its fighters targeted a Merkava tank with an attack drone, and Israeli troops with “barrages of rockets and artillery shelling”.
In another statement it said its fighters subsequently attacked two Israeli tanks in the same area.
In a third of the statements – which like the others also indicated an attack time of after 11pm (2000 GMT) – Hezbollah said its fighters targeted a Merkava tank in the town of Bayada “with a guided missile”, reports Agence France-Presse.
As mentioned earlier, Hezbollah MP Hassan Fadlallah said the group supported a “full ceasefire on all Lebanese territory”, calling it a precursor to Israeli troops withdrawing from Lebanon.
Before that the Lebanese presidency said Hezbollah had accepted “a reciprocal cessation of attacks”, but Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the IDF would “continue to operate as planned” in southern Lebanon….

ISW…Iran Update Special Report, June 1, 2026
- The Iranian regime, which ISW-CTP continues to assess is dominated by Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Commander Major General Ahmad Vahidi and his inner circle, suspended US-Iran negotiations on June 1. Vahidi and his inner circle likely calculate that the status quo, in which Iran has neither made concessions to the United States in a diplomatic agreement nor is engaged in a full-scale conflict with the United States, is a favorable situation that advances their objectives. IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency announced on June 1 that the regime has suspended negotiations, ostensibly in response to Israeli operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
- The Iranian regime’s decision to suspend negotiations and emphasize the Lebanon issue is almost certainly a response to US President Donald Trump’s recent amendments to the draft US-Iran memorandum of understanding (MoU).
- The Iranian regime has likely focused on the Lebanon issue, as opposed to another key sticking point in negotiations, to try to curb Israeli operations against Hezbollah in Lebanon as part of the regime’s broader objective to preserve Hezbollah. The regime also likely seeks to drive a wedge between the United States and Israel by falsely blaming Israel and its operations in Lebanon for the collapse of the US-Iran talks. Vahidi and his inner circle also likely calculate that the status quo will help them advance several other objectives, such as solidifying Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz and maintaining the Iranian nuclear program.
- The suspension of negotiations further indicates that Vahidi and his inner circle are driving Iranian decision-making and have likely gained the upper hand over proponents of a deal, particularly Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.
- Iran and the United States have exchanged limited fire over the past 48 hours. Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC)-affiliated media announced on May 31 that Iranian air defenses shot down a US MQ-1 Predator drone over “Iranian territorial waters.” US Central Command (CENTCOM) responded by launching defensive strikes against Iranian targets on Qeshm Island and in Goruk, Hormozgan Province. The IRGC retaliated against the US strikes by launching two missiles at US forces in Kuwait on May 31.
- Iranian forces also likely attacked a civilian cargo vessel located off the coast of Iraq on June 1. United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported on June 1 that an unspecified projectile struck a cargo vessel transiting the northern Persian Gulf approximately 40 nautical miles southeast of the Umm Qasr Port in Iraq.
…
“For three months, President Trump has been deeply engaged in the Iran conflict, planning the 38 days of attack, struggling to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and proclaiming ‘a whole civilization will die tonight,’ then backing away to declare a cease-fire and a naval blockage of Iranian ports,” the New York Times reports.
“But on Monday, after days of haggling with Iranian officials through intermediaries on a preliminary agreement, Mr. Trump declared it was starting ‘to get very boring.’”
