Trump stated that Israel and Hezbollah agreed to cease hostilities, and talks with Iran continue
US President Donald Trump announced that he held talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as representatives of "Hezbollah", and convinced the parties of the need for de-escalation. According to him, the Israeli prime minister agreed not to send troops to the southern part of Beirut, and the Lebanese group promised to stop attacks, writes BBC.

"I had a very productive conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu: no troops will go to Beirut, and those that were already on their way have been turned back. In addition, through high-ranking representatives, I had a very constructive conversation with "Hezbollah", and they agreed that all hostilities would cease — Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel," he wrote on his social network Truth Social.
In another post, he stated that negotiations with Iran are continuing in an intensive mode.
Earlier on Monday, the Iranian news agency Tasnim reported that Tehran's negotiating team was suspending all contacts with the US through intermediaries due to attacks on Lebanon.
"Given the ongoing attacks by the Israeli regime in Lebanon, as well as the fact that Lebanon was one of the prior conditions for a ceasefire — which is now violated in all directions, including Lebanon — the Iranian negotiating delegation is suspending negotiations and message exchanges through intermediaries," the statement said.
Commenting on these reports, Trump stated that Iran had not informed Washington of its decision.
"This is a completely reasonable statement, because they negotiate better than they fight," he said in a brief comment. "But they didn't inform us about it."
"Frankly, I think we've talked too much. I think it would be very good to just be silent," the American leader added.
