Back in April, Trump had caught Netanyahu off guard by announcing that the US was willing to enter “direct” talks with Iran—an idea Netanyahu had tried, unsuccessfully, to dissuade. This time, Netanyahu is looking for clarity on whether further Israeli military action would have American backing.

President Trump said the truce was holding after lashing out at both countries for seemingly violating the agreement.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned Americans of a "heightened threat environment" on June 22 that could include attacks on U.S. soil. That fear appeared to dissipate when Iran attacked a United States military base in Qatar June 23, injuring no one.
