US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have publicly acknowledged their differences over the Iran conflict, with Trump calling Netanyahu 'crazy' during a phone call and Netanyahu admitting to 'tactical disagreements'.
Despite the tensions, both leaders insist their ties remain strong, with Trump saying he 'likes Bibi a lot' and Netanyahu stressing they share 'common goals'.
The rift comes as the Iran conflict and tensions in Lebanon continue to complicate diplomacy, with the US under pressure to bring the conflict to an end amid rising energy prices and economic uncertainty.
Israel and Lebanon have agreed to renew their fragile ceasefire and establish security zones, but details remain unclear, and Hezbollah has not been involved in the talks.
Trump declined to give a firm timeline for ending the conflict with Iran, saying the Strait of Hormuz could remain blocked through the Labor Day holiday on September 7.
