Trump Confirms He Called Netanyahu 'Crazy' Over Lebanon Strikes

Trump confirmed the explosive call, saying he was 'a little bit perturbed' at Israel's constant fighting with Lebanon.

He pressed Netanyahu to halt threatened strikes on Beirut to avoid blowing up fragile US-Iran talks.

A US-brokered Israel-Hezbollah de-escalation followed, but Israel signalled it would keep hitting southern Lebanon.

Iran threatened to walk from talks and warned of trouble in the Strait of Hormuz.

For India, any Hormuz flare-up means costlier crude, LPG and a weaker rupee.
