US President Donald Trump has downplayed the impact of escalating military actions between Israel and Iran on ongoing peace negotiations with Tehran. In remarks to the Financial Times, Trump asserted that the recent exchanges of attacks would not derail efforts to secure a peace deal, stating, "I call the shots. I call all the shots." His comments followed Israeli airstrikes near Beirut and Iran's missile retaliation targeting Israeli sites. Despite the renewed violence, Trump expressed confidence that an agreement remains achievable and has urged Israel to restrain military operations in Lebanon to preserve diplomatic momentum. Reports indicate that Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a brief phone conversation, during which Trump advised against further strikes, suggesting that they are close to a favorable deal. The situation has raised concerns about the broader implications for regional stability, particularly as tensions between Israel and Hezbollah continue. Additionally, the escalation has affected global energy markets, with Brent crude oil prices rising above $95 per barrel as fears of a wider conflict grow.
