On the Phone - Trump Cursing Netanyahu
Last Update added below on June 3:
Rising Tensions between US & Iran
Iran Bombing Internat. Airport Kuwait
Only hours ago, AXIOS, CNN, FOX News, The Guardian came with the news that US president Donald Trump allegedly threatened Netanyahu in a phone call where he referred to the renewed Israeli bombing of Beirut. The call must have been loud enough to be overheard by Trump's entourage.
“You’re fucking crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass.
The phone call came after Netanyahu had ordered the Israeli military to resume bombing the southern Dahiya area of Beirut to target Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militia which has launched drone strikes into Israel. The Israel Defense Forces told Lebanese civilians to evacuate areas of southern Beirut, causing thousands of people to flee.
Iran said on Tuesday, June 2nd, that it would suspend peace talks with the US over Israel’s ongoing campaign in southern Lebanon. Tehran insisted Lebanon should be covered by a ceasefire agreement meant to facilitate negotiations to open the strait of Hormuz and lift a US blockade of Iranian ports.
The phone call between Trump and Netanyahu came on the heels of that announcement, which would effectively freeze talks days after Trump had claimed negotiators had reached a preliminary deal that he was considering whether to sign.
Channel 12, a prominent independent Israeli news network, contested the details of the call.

Tensions in the Gulf have surged after Iran claimed to have launched missile and drone attacks targeting U.S. military facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain. Tehran described the strikes as retaliation for American military action against Qeshm Island, while the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that any further aggression would trigger an even harsher response.
According to Iranian statements, precision missile strikes were carried out against U.S. positions in the region. Meanwhile, U.S. Central Command said American and partner forces intercepted multiple missiles and drones, adding that no U.S. personnel were harmed during the attacks. CENTCOM also confirmed conducting self-defense strikes on an Iranian ground-control station on Qeshm Island. The latest escalation comes despite an existing ceasefire framework between Washington and Tehran, raising fresh concerns about the stability of the Gulf region. Air raid sirens reportedly sounded in Bahrain, while regional militaries remained on high alert amid fears of a wider confrontation. With both sides exchanging accusations and military actions, questions are growing over whether the fragile truce can survive. The Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for global energy supplies, remains at the center of the standoff as tensions between the United States and Iran continue to shape security dynamics across West Asia.

Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this.”
