Skip next section Trump: 'Hopefully Israel is not going to retaliate' 06/07/2026 June 7, 2026 Trump: 'Hopefully Israel is not going to retaliate' US President Donald Trump has warned against further retaliatory strikes between Israel and Iran in a brief interview with online outlet Axios.
"I am going to call Bibi right now and tell him not to retaliate," Trump said, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by his nickname. "Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike, and Iran had its strike.
We don't need another one." Trump went on to say that the Iranian strikes "didn't hurt anybody." "Hopefully Israel is not going to retaliate. If Bibi strikes them back, it's just gonna keep going like the last 47 years — or the last 3,000 years," Trump said.
He also claimed once again that the US and Iran were "very close" to reaching a ceasefire deal.
