As Israel and Iran continued their mutual attacks, U.S. President Donald Trump stepped in.

He warned via his social media that "Israel and Iran must stop firing immediately," and subsequently, both countries announced a halt to their mutual attacks with a time difference.

It is reported that a pressure-filled phone call from President Trump to Israel served as the backdrop for this development.

President Trump told the U.S. online media outlet Axios that he called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was preparing for a large-scale airstrike against Iran on June 8 (local time), and warned him, "If you are not careful, you will be left alone very soon."

President Trump also claimed that he had been asked to tell Israel to stop its attacks on Iran, stating that Iran would no longer launch attacks against Israel that would involve the United States.

While the conflict between Iran and Israel, which had raised concerns about the resumption of all-out war, has temporarily paused, tensions remain palpable.

Despite announcing a halt to the attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that he would not stand idly by if Iran attacks again.

[Benjamin Netanyahu/Prime Minister of Israel: We have paused the airstrikes for the time being. This is because the terrorist regime in Tehran has stopped its attacks on us after being struck. If Iran makes the mistake of attacking us again, we will respond with powerful force.]

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of the Iranian Parliament and head of Iran's ceasefire negotiation team, posted a message on social media stating that both military operations and diplomacy are necessary to achieve their goals.

He stated that Iran's attack against Israel demonstrated that Iran does not fear the suspension of ceasefire negotiations, and added that Iran does not trust the United States at all.
