US-Israel-Iran War Live Updates: US President Donald Trump's push to steady the Middle East crisis is colliding with hard realities on the ground, as calls for restraint and negotiations struggle to match the pace of military action. US has quietly urged Israel to tone down its campaign and move towards dialogue, with Trump emphasising a more "low-key" approach even as signals from Tel Aviv remain mixed.
