President Donald Trump publicly chided Israel on Sunday over a morning airstrike on Beirut, warning that the attack threatened to derail the Iran peace deal he is trying to sign on his 80th birthday."This morning's attack on Beirut should not have happened, particularly on a special day when we are so close to a Peace Deal with Iran," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post at 10:46 a.m. Eastern.While allowing that "Israel has the right to defend itself against threats," Trump played down the provocation Israel said it was answering, calling it "very small and meaningless" and noting that "nobody was hurt, injured, or killed." The strike, he wrote, "should not disrupt this important process."He then urged all sides to back off. "We are very close to a Deal that will bring peace to the region, including to Lebanon, and all sides should stand down," Trump wrote. "There should be no more attacks by Israel anywhere in Lebanon, but there should also be no more attacks by any other party, including Hezbollah, against Israel."Trump closed on a familiar mix of optimism and warning: "This could be the beginning of a long and beautiful peace — Let's not blow it!"The post came hours after the Israeli military said it had struck Hezbollah "infrastructure" in Beirut's southern suburbs — and on the same day Trump has insisted a U.S.-Iran agreement to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be signed. Iranian officials have been more cautious about the timing, and warned that the Beirut strike would not go unanswered.

A peace deal between Washington and Tehran – one that President Donald Trump has shown a “strange insistence” on being finalized Sunday, his 80th birthday – is at risk of collapse after a key Iranian demand was violated Sunday morning, Al Jazeera reported.Iran has demanded that Israel halt its bombardment of Lebanon as a non-negotiable condition to ending the war, a demand that Israel has largely ignored, despite Trump’s insistence that Israel halts its attacks on its northern neighbor. And on Sunday, Israel launched airstrikes on suburbs in Beirut, Lebanon’s capital and largest city, killing at least two and wounding four.The attack, warned Sami Nader of the Levant Institute for Strategic Affairs, could blow up the U.S.-Iran peace deal Trump had hoped would be finalized Sunday.“This event is quite significant and it has the potential to torpedo the deal between the US and Iran,” Nader told Al Jazeera. “The thing is now how Iran will retaliate?”Iran launched strikes against Israel for striking Lebanon as recently as last week, setting a new precedent in the war by launching attacks against Israel on behalf of another country. Whether Iran repeats last week’s attack remains to be seen, though Al Jazeera’s Almigdad Alruhaid argued that Israel’s Sunday morning strikes were, at the least, a potential “huge setback” for a brokered deal between Washington and Tehran.“This is a serious development as far as Iran is concerned. We’ve seen that the situation in Lebanon is an integral and central part of the potential peace deal,” Alruhaid wrote.“The latest broader ceasefire, on April 8, was linked to the situation in Lebanon, and Iranian officials have repeatedly said that the situation in Lebanon will not be separated from this deal. So it could be a huge setback.”
