US President Donald Trump is trying to find a way out of the war with Iran, but it's getting more complicated. Trump wants a deal with Iran. The US and Israel are allies, but they have different priorities.

The conflict between Israel and Iran got worse on Sunday. This was two months after Trump announced a ceasefire.

Iran's militia, Hezbollah, fired rockets into northern Israel. Israel struck back at Hezbollah in Beirut.

Iran responded with missiles at Israel. Israel said it stopped all the missiles. Iran's actions were a response to Israel's strikes.

Israel fired back at Iranian targets, including air defense and a petrochemical plant.

This happened even though Trump said he would tell Netanyahu not to retaliate.

Trump wants a long-term deal with Iran, but the conflict between Israel and Iran makes it hard. Trump needs to stop the fighting between Israel and Iran to get a deal.

Iran stopped its military action against Israel.

The US and Israel want to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. But they have different priorities after that. The US and Israel have different goals because of their leaders' domestic politics.

Trump cares more about opening the Strait of Hormuz for oil tankers. Netanyahu wants to protect Israel by stopping Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Iran says any deal with the US must include Israel stopping its action against Hezbollah. Iran wants the US to make Israel stop its military action.

The US tried to make a ceasefire in Lebanon, but it didn't work. Hezbollah didn't agree, and Israel didn't withdraw its troops.

An expert, Natan Sachs, says Iran thinks Trump wants a deal so much that it can attack Israel without the US retaliating. Iran feels emboldened and thinks it has the upper hand.

Sachs says Iran is playing a game of chicken. Iran thinks it can push the limits without going back to full-scale war with the US.

Sachs says Netanyahu is worried that Trump will make a deal with Iran that is too soft on Israel's priorities, like stopping Iran's support for Hezbollah.

There is a potential split between Trump and Netanyahu because their interests are different.

Despite their differences, the US and Israel remain allies. The differences between Trump and Netanyahu haven't become a big problem yet.

There were reports of Trump yelling at Netanyahu on the phone about Israel's strikes on Hezbollah.

An expert, Michael Young, says Iran is trying to create tension between the US and Israel. Iran wants to stop any breakthrough in US-Iran talks.

Young says Trump wants a deal, but Israel is trying to stop it.

The US 'silver bullet' strategy isn't working against Iran.

There is a gap between what the US and Israel want from the war with Iran. An expert, Thomas Juneau, says Trump wants to end the war, but Netanyahu thinks the job isn't done.

Israel is anxious because it's not directly involved in US-Iran talks. Israel fears the outcome could hurt its interests.

Juneau says the differences between Trump and Netanyahu are real, but not too big. The US and Israel are still closely aligned.

Juneau thinks the conflict will continue with a fragile ceasefire that gets broken sometimes.

He calls it a 'no-war, no-peace, no-man's land'.

Trump spoke to Netanyahu twice between Sunday and Monday.

Trump told Israel and Iran to stop fighting. He posted this on social media when the missiles were still flying.

Later that day, Israel and Iran stopped their strikes.

Trump's big challenge is still getting a deal with Iran. He has been saying since April that a deal is close, but it hasn't happened.

On Monday, Trump said again that a deal is coming soon.

Trump wrote that final negotiations on peace are happening. He said things should move quickly, but ignorance or stupidity could get in the way.
