(Reuters/File) US President Donald Trump had repeatedly claimed that the United States and Iran were close to a deal to end the war that has roiled global energy markets for the last three months, yet the fragile ceasefire was shattered by renewed missile strikes between Iran and Israel, dealing a potential blow to ongoing negotiations. The Gulf region woke up to a dramatic escalation in tensions as Israel and Iran launched tit-for-tat strikes in recent hours. Iran said its attack was in retaliation for an Israeli strike on Beirut’s southern suburbs, despite Trump warning Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against any retaliation. Furthermore, Trump also told Netanyahu in a phone call on Sunday to hold off on launching a retaliatory attack on Iran and escalating an already tense situation in the region. However, Israel went ahead with attacks on multiple targets in Iran, raising questions about Trump’s ability to influence Israeli decision-making at a critical juncture.

Democratic US Senator from Connecticut, Chris Murphy, said Trump was being “humiliated" by Netanyahu. “This war has been humiliating for Trump and American power generally.

House Leader Hakeem Jeffries also called on the Republican-controlled Senate to move the war powers resolution aimed at halting the conflict that is deeply unpopular with Americans. How Trump Tried To Prevent Escalation The 79-year-old US president has sought to end the war, which has completed 100 days on Monday, amid soaring gas prices and declining popularity ratings, but a deal has remained elusive. Iranian officials have repeatedly warned that any peace arrangement with the United States would require a ceasefire “on all fronts", including Lebanon and Gaza. However, Israel has intensified operations against Hezbollah targets, including strikes around Beirut and in southern areas, resulting in thousands of casualties.
