TRUMP INTERVENED TO STOP ISRAELI STRIKE ON TEHRAN AS US NAVY SINKS SANCTIONED TANKER ENFORCING IRAN BLOCKADE

US President Donald Trump intervened on Monday to stop Israel launching a major strike on the Iranian capital Tehran, but the Israeli prime minister has twice defied American calls for restraint in recent days — first by striking Beirut and then by retaliating against Iran.

President Trump told the Financial Times that the Israeli leader follows his instructions, but the website Axios has reported a heated phone call between the two in which the American president used strong language.
