Iran, five Mideast states urged Trump to rein in Israel strikes - Axios
Iran and five other countries from the Middle East involved in the mediation efforts between the United States and Iran asked Donald Trump to pressure Netanyahu to stop the attacks and move forward with an agreement, Axios reported citing an interview with the US president.
The Trump administration received messages from the Iranians on Monday morning stating a willingness to stop shooting if Israel did the same, the US president told Axios.
"They called us and said that they are not doing any more attacks and asked us to tell Israel not to do any more attacks," Trump said.
He also said that "the Israelis gave us an update at a very late stage. They were already on their way to Iran. I managed to reduce the scope of the attack."
