US President Donald Trump stunned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by declaring Israel was "prohibited" from carrying out further airstrikes in Lebanon, even as Iran announced it was reopening the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping during a fragile regional ceasefire, according to inputs from Axios.
Trump’s remarks created immediate confusion in Israel and raised new questions over US policy toward the 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. At the same time, Tehran’s decision to reopen one of the world’s most critical oil shipping lanes signaled possible movement in broader US-Iran diplomacy.
