Trump confirms he called Netanyahu ‘crazy,’ as he says Israel is complicating peace talks with Iran

  • In a CNBC interview, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed he and President Donald Trump maintain "common goals" despite "tactical disagreements" over Iran, noting they communicate "once every two days."
  • Following a tense phone call on Monday, Trump reportedly yelled at Netanyahu, calling him "crazy" and forced the cancellation of planned strikes in a Beirut suburb considered a Hezbollah stronghold.
  • Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted Kuwait International Airport and U.S. 5th Fleet headquarters in Bahrain, injuring 63 people, while U.S. Central Command launched "self defense" strikes overnight on Qeshm Island.
  • Praising the U.S. "reverse blockade" of Iranian ports near the Strait of Hormuz as "a stroke of genius," Netanyahu noted the UAE is accelerating construction of a pipeline to bypass the region.
  • Describing the Iranian regime as "enormously weakened," Prime Minister Netanyahu argued that Israel's military campaign against Iran and its proxies protects "free democracies everywhere," including Europe and the United States.
