Israel has temporarily suspended a planned military strike on Iran following a request from US President Donald Trump, according to a senior Israeli official cited by Israel’s Channel 12. The report stated that the decision came after Trump’s appeal, though the official warned that Israel would target southern suburbs of Beirut if Hezbollah continued attacks on Israeli cities and civilian areas.
Channel 12 also reported that Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon would continue at full strength in the coming days, with no current plans to reduce the intensity of strikes against Hezbollah positions. The report did not specify when the suspension of the Iran strike took effect or how long it might last.
The claims made by the Israeli official could not be independently verified, and there has been no official confirmation regarding the suspension of the planned attack on Iran.
