On Monday evening, June 18, CNN reported, citing an Israeli source and a knowledgeable American official, that Israel was preparing for a large-scale attack on Tehran, but Donald Trump, the President of the United States, urged Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call to refrain from further retaliatory strikes.

According to the Israeli source, Trump asked Netanyahu during this call to limit Israel's response in order to prevent escalating tensions.

The report stated that Netanyahu resisted Trump's request during the first call, which took place on Sunday evening U.S. time, insisting that Israel must respond to Iran's attacks.

Despite Trump's warning in the Sunday night conversation, the Israeli military targeted some sites in Iran, including an important petrochemical complex.

The network also noted that the tone of recent conversations between Trump and Netanyahu has not been as harsh as the calls from the previous week. According to CNN, tensions between the two sides had escalated to the point where Trump had spoken sharply to the Israeli Prime Minister during last week's calls.
