Donald Trump faces stalemate in Iran, Ukraine and Gaza crises

Donald Trump has reportedly berated Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on a call aimed at ending fighting in Lebanon.

Trump allies describe a sense of burnout inside the White House driven by a nearly all-encompassing focus on ending the Iran war, which has already lasted twice as long as the president suggested it might.

Tensions between the United States and Iran have intensified further after Tehran suspended indirect negotiations, citing Israel’s ongoing military actions in Lebanon and Gaza.

Tehran has long invested in deeper cooperation with Beijing and Moscow.
