Trump warns Netanyahu he could be 'on your own' in Iran war

US President Donald Trump cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that renewing war with Iran risks isolating Israel on the battlefield, according to Axios, as the latest exchange between the leaders contrasted sharply with an earlier call in which Trump called the premier "f****** crazy."
US President Donald Trump cautioned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that renewed military action against Iran would leave Israel fighting without American support, according to a report by Axios published Monday.
Private warning
"I said, 'Bibi, you better be careful, or you will be on your own very soon'," Trump said in a telephone interview with the outlet, employing the Israeli leader's widely recognized nickname. The conversation represented a notably calmer exchange than an earlier call in which Trump called the Israeli premier "f****** crazy," according to two US officials and a source familiar with the Israeli perspective.
Regional escalation
Netanyahu on Monday vowed a "much harsher" response to any future Iranian attack following the recent escalation between the two countries. The tensions follow an Israeli airstrike on Beirut on Sunday that targeted what Tel Aviv described as a Hezbollah command and planning center.
