Donald Trump has spoken to several US and international media outlets in the wake of Iran's missile strike.

Prior to his call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump told US media outlet Axios that he planned to urge Netanyahu not to retaliate against Iran's attack.

The US president reiterated that message to Israel's Channel 12 news, saying he did not want to see "an additional attack tonight", according the Times of Israel.

"The Iranian strikes didn’t hurt anybody," Trump said. "Each of them had their fun. Israel had its strike and Iran had its strike. We don’t need another one."

He added that he was going to call Netanyahu "right now and tell him not to retaliate".
