Trump said on social media that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had promised not to send troops to Beirut’s southern suburbs as threatened, while Hezbollah had agreed that “all shooting will stop,” News.Az reports, citing Daily Mail.

His comments came after Iran’s news agency Tasnim reported Tehran had suspended dialogue with mediators in protest at Israel’s expanding offensive in Lebanon against Iran’s ally Hezbollah.
“I had a very productive call with Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel, and there will be no Troops going to Beirut, and any Troops that are on their way, have already been turned back,” Trump wrote.
“Likewise, through highly placed Representatives, I had a very good call with Hezbollah, and they agreed that all shooting will stop — That Israel will not attack them, and they will not attack Israel.”
In a separate post a few minutes later, Trump said that “talks are continuing, at a rapid pace, with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
But earlier on Monday, the US leader had given decidedly mixed signals about his enthusiasm for the talks to end the Iran war, which the United States and Israel launched on February 28.
Trump told US broadcaster CNBC in a telephone interview shortly before his Truth Social posts that “I don’t care” if the Iran talks collapsed.
“If they´re over, they´re over,” Trump told CNBC. “Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring.”
Trump separately told NBC News on Monday that he had not been informed that Iran was suspending negotiations but that, “I think we’ve been talking too much if you want to know the truth.”
“I think going silent would be very good, and that could be that could be for a long time,” he told NBC.

Fourth seed Felix Auger-Aliassime defeated Alejandro Tabilo 6-3, 7-5, 6-1 on Monday to reach the French Open quarter-finals for the first time in his career, News.Az reports, citing France 24.
After spending more than 11 hours on court across nine sets in his first three matches during the opening week’s heatwave, the Canadian needed just two hours and eight minutes to secure victory in his fourth-round encounter, played in temperatures in the mid-20s Celsius.
“Today was the ideal scenario,” Auger-Aliassime said.

“It was the best tennis I’ve played here. It’s great that in the fourth match I’ve found my best tennis.”
The 25-year-old will next face unseeded Italian Flavio Cobolli. Speaking on court after the French Open match, the Montreal-born player appealed for the support of the Paris crowd.
“This has always been a dream for me,” he said. “I’m not French, but I’m very Francophone, and I’m sure I can count on your support all the way to the end.
“I feel as if I’m at home.”
Auger-Aliassime earned the decisive break in the fourth game of the opening set. He then saved two break points in the following game as Tabilo attempted to respond, before comfortably taking the set, with the next four service games all held to love.
In the second set, the Canadian secured the only break he needed in the 11th game. As Tabilo’s resistance faded, Auger-Aliassime dominated the third set, wrapping it up in just 26 minutes to complete a commanding straight-sets victory.
