President Trump has called for restraint from all parties following Israel's recent airstrikes on Beirut, which occurred as negotiations for a preliminary US-Iran peace deal were underway. The strikes reportedly targeted Hezbollah leaders after the group launched projectiles into northern Israel, escalating tensions in the region.
