Trump says Israel banned from bombing Lebanon

US President Donald Trump said on ​Friday that the United States has banned ‌Israel from further bombing in Lebanon, using an atypically harsher tone than usual with the ​longtime US ally Israel, Report informs via Reuters.

"Israel will ​not be bombing Lebanon any longer. ⁠They are PROHIBITED from doing so ​by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!" ​Trump said in a social media post.

Trump also said any deal the United States reaches ​with Iran "is in no way subject ​to Lebanon" but the US will "deal with" the ‌militant ⁠Hezbollah situation in an appropriate manner.

The US president also said the US will get nuclear material from ​Iran. "No money ​will exchange ⁠hands in any way, shape, or form."

Trump's posts ​came after Iran's foreign minister, ​Abbas ⁠Aragchi, said that passage for all commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz ⁠is "declared ​completely open" for the ​remaining period of the ceasefire.
