Trump admits calling Netanyahu "*f**ing crazy" U.S. President Donald Trump has confirmed he used profane language against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call, admitting he called the Israeli leader "f***ing crazy" over Israel's continued military operations in Lebanon. Trump, speaking on the Pod Force One podcast, said he was not furious but described himself as "perturbed." "At some point I said, Bibi, we got to stop this. We got to stop it," Trump stated.
The exchange came at a critical diplomatic moment, as Iran had suspended nuclear negotiations with Washington in protest over Israeli strikes in Lebanon, arguing that attacks on Hezbollah undermined ceasefire prospects. According to an Axios report, Trump did not refute, he told Netanyahu: "You're f***ing crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now."
Separately, the regional conflict escalated further when Iran launched drone and missile strikes on Kuwait, temporarily shutting down its international airport, killing one person, and injuring over 60. U.S. Central Command subsequently announced defensive strikes inside southern Iran, targeting missile launch sites, Iranian naval vessels, and positions on Qeshm Island near the Strait of Hormuz.
