Trump Condemns Ceasefire Violations with F-Bomb, Calls for Calm
US President Donald Trump has accused both Israel and Iran of violating a Washington-broker, ceasefire, calling them ‘two countries that do not know what the f**k they are doing.’ Trump expressed frustration over Israel’s alleged attacks following the truce agreement and warned against further escalation, urging both sides to exercise restraint.
Background on the Ceasefire
A Washington-brokered ceasefire was recently agreed upon, but tensions remain high in the region. Shortly after the truce was signed, Israel accused Iran of firing missiles at Israeli territory and promised a harsh response. Iran denied the attacks, and the exact timing of the ceasefire’s implementation remains unclear.
Trump’s Outbursts and Political Criticism
Trump took to the podium on Tuesday before departing for the NATO summit in The Hague, where he blasted both parties for their actions. ‘We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they do not know what the f**k they are doing,’ Trump said. He expressed disappointment with Israel, which he claimed had ‘unloaded’ immediately after agreeing to the truce, arguing that it was unnecessary.
Iranian Reports of Israeli Strikes
In a later post, Trump claimed that ‘Israel is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘plane wave’ to Iran.’ However, Iranian news agencies reported Israeli strikes in the western part of the country, with explosions near Babol and Babolsar. Mehr news agency claimed the projectiles landed in an unpopulated area. Israeli officials confirmed a ‘small strike’ against an Iranian radar in response to an earlier attack by Iran.
Regional Implications and Future Prospects
This incident has raised serious concerns about the stability of the ceasefire and the potential for renewed hostilities. As the situation unfolds, both Israel and Iran must work to restore confidence in the truce, with U.S. President Trump’s strong words likely to add to the pressure on both sides to de-escalate the conflict.
