IDF in big confusion after Hezbollah arm-twists Trump into slapping down Netanyahu’s war plans?

Israel reportedly halted plans for a military operation targeting Beirut after diplomatic intervention and escalating regional warnings. U.S. President Donald Trump said on June 1 that a conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu led to the suspension of planned troop movements and prevented an assault on the Lebanese capital. Trump described the discussion as productive and claimed parallel understandings were reached to reduce tensions. The reported de-escalation followed warnings from Iran against any strike on southern Beirut, particularly the Dahiyeh district, a major Hezbollah stronghold. The development has renewed focus on efforts to prevent a wider regional conflict involving Israel, Lebanon, Hezbollah and Iran.
