On June 14, 2026, President Donald Trump condemned Israel's military strikes on Beirut, stating they "should not have happened" and could jeopardize a potential peace deal with Iran. The Israeli Defense Forces targeted what they described as a Hezbollah command center in response to projectiles launched toward northern Israel. Trump emphasized that while Israel has the right to defend itself, the attack was disproportionate as it followed a minor provocation with no reported injuries or fatalities. He noted that a peace agreement was close to being finalized, although Iranian officials indicated that the strikes could hinder negotiations. Trump urged all parties to refrain from further attacks to foster a peaceful resolution in the region.
