JERUSALEM (AP) — U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday urged no further attacks by anyone after Israel’s military said it launched strikes on Hezbollah targets in Beirut, potentially complicating efforts to finalize a deal to end the U.S.-Iran war. Smoke rose over the Lebanese capital, and the health ministry said three people were killed and 16 others wounded.
Iran threatened a military response. Trump reacted on social media: “We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon” and “Let's not blow it!”
