U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday urged Israel and Iran to immediately cease military hostilities, issuing a brief but direct appeal on social media amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
In a post published on his official account, Trump wrote, “Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting.’” The message was posted just minutes before attracting hundreds of comments, shares, and reactions from users online.
The statement comes as concerns grow over the potential for a wider regional conflict following recent exchanges between Israel and Iran. While Trump did not provide further details or outline any specific diplomatic initiative, his remarks reflect increasing international calls for de-escalation.
Analysts said that any reduction in hostilities could help ease geopolitical uncertainty and reduce volatility in global energy and financial markets. However, both Israel and Iran have yet to respond publicly to Trump's latest comments.
The situation remains closely watched by governments and investors worldwide as efforts to prevent further escalation continue.
