Trumps says Israel and Hezbollah will stop fighting after Iran stops talks with U.S. over Israeli operations in southern Lebanon, Gaza

Democratic strategist David Axelrod said Monday night that President Trump's reported outburst at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a phone call earlier in the day was justified. Israel ​kept up strikes on southern Lebanon on Tuesday, killing eight people, including children, as it pressed its campaign against Hezbollah a day after President Donald Trump asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to attack Beirut to avert a further escalation. US President Donald Trump said discussions with Iran continue at a rapid pace despite the Islamic Republic’s threats to suspend talks because of Israel’s attacks in Lebanon.

An senior Iranian military official has said Tehran "won't surrender." Also, reports of strikes between Israel and Hezbollah continue after President Donald Trump said "shooting will stop." DW has more. Treasury yields fell on Tuesday as traders continue to monitor the latest developments between Iran and the U.S.

The Hill reported the story as "Axelrod on reported Trump outburst at Netanyahu: 'His analysis is not wrong'." PBS NewsHour reported the story as "Iranian reports: Iran stops talking to mediators over Israel fighting Hezbollah in Lebanon." Gateway Pundit reported the story as "JUST IN: Strikes Continue in Southern Lebanon After Trump Unloaded on Netanyahu - Israel and Lebanon Hold Talks at US State Department."
