The US president reportedly urged the Israeli leader not to restart a full-blown war with Iran
US President Donald Trump threatened to withdraw support for Israel during a tense phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Axios reported on Monday.
Trump has held several heated phone conversations with the Israeli leader after Iran announced last week that it was suspending talks with the US over repeated Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
Iran's conditions for a peace agreement include the cessation of hostilities on "all fronts," including Lebanon, where nearly 3,700 people have been killed since early March, when Israel resumed strikes in response to attacks by Hezbollah.
Israel and Iran exchanged strikes on Sunday and Monday for the first time since a ceasefire was reached in April, following an Israeli strike in Beirut.
Axios reported on Monday that Trump said in a phone interview with the outlet that he had warned Netanyahu that "if he went back to war with Iran, he might find himself fighting alone." Trump previously confirmed reports that he had called Netanyahu "f**king crazy" during an earlier conversation.
BBC North America editor Sarah Smith said Trump told her by phone on Monday that he had urged the Israeli leader to "use common sense," adding that he was "very close to signing a very powerful deal" with Iran.
