Trump Urges Restraint After Israeli Strikes on Beirut Threaten Iran Ceasefire Deal

14 June 2026 09:20

U.S. President Donald Trump called for an end to further attacks after Israeli strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut killed three people and wounded 16, threatening a ceasefire deal to end the U.S.-Iran war.

- Israeli strikes hit a five-story apartment building in Beirut's southern suburbs, causing residents to flee. - Iran threatened military retaliation, with a senior general saying the attacks "will not go unanswered." - Mediators from Qatar traveled to Tehran to finalize the deal, which is expected to be signed electronically.

- The deal does not resolve Iran's nuclear program or frozen funds but offers a 60-day framework for technical discussions. Trump urged both sides not to "blow it," while Israel defended the strikes as a response to Hezbollah attacks on northern Israel.
