Netanyahu “damn crazy”: Trump confirms outburst of anger

Trump confirms a telephone freakout. Iran continues to talk to the US. All developments on the war in the Middle East in the news blog.

Amid speculation about an end to negotiations between the USA and Iran, the Iranian Foreign Minister emphasizes that contacts continue. The talks with the USA have not broken off, Abbas Araghchi told the Lebanese broadcaster Al-Majadin, who is close to the Hezbollah militia, in an interview that was also published in the Iranian media.

However, the negotiations will only make progress once the war against Iran and in Lebanon is over, he said. In recent days, Iranian media, citing negotiating circles, reported that talks between the warring parties had been broken off.

In response to recent Iranian attacks on its territory, Kuwait has declared two Iranian diplomats persona non grata and ordered them to leave the country within 24 hours. In addition, the number of employees at the Iranian embassy in the emirate will be reduced, the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry announced on Platform X on Wednesday.

Accordingly, the acting charge d’affaires of the Iranian embassy in Kuwait was summoned to the Foreign Ministry. There the government handed him a formal note of protest against what Kuwait described as ongoing Iranian attacks.

The decision was made due to the continued and serious Iranian attacks with ballistic missiles and drones. The facilities targeted several civilian facilities and vital installations, including Kuwait International Airport.

US President Donald Trump has confirmed that he sharply criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a telephone conversation. He called Netanyahu “fucking crazy.” He was angry about Israel’s ongoing military actions in Lebanon and called on Netanyahu to refrain from further attacks. US media had previously reported on Trump’s unusually clear choice of words.

Despite the dispute, Trump emphasized that both politicians would continue to work well together. “I’m a president at war, he’s a prime minister at war,” Trump said in a podcast interview. He likes Netanyahu and works closely with him.

According to authorities, at least eight people were killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon. The Lebanese Ministry of Health reported that six people were killed in an attack near the coastal city of Tyre. The Israeli army did not initially comment on this when asked.

According to the ministry, two paramedics were killed in another attack. Another was seriously injured. The ministry condemned the attack as a “barbaric act” by Israel. Israel’s military said it was investigating the case. In the past, the Israeli army has repeatedly accused Hezbollah of using health facilities as protection. The Lebanese authorities reject this.
