A furious Donald Trump cursed at Israel and Iran on live TV this morning, using the f-word as he accused both of violating a ceasefire he brokered last night.
‘We’ve got two countries who’ve been fighting for so long and so hard, they don’t know what the f*** they’re doing,’ he said as he stormed onto Marine One for his trip to the NATO summit in the Netherlands.
The Israel-Iran ceasefire agreement appears to be in tatters just hours after coming into effect, with the warring arch enemies accusing one another of launching strikes almost immediately after they agreed to stop their tit-for-tat attacks.
Israel said it earlier today that it was preparing to ‘respond forcefully’ to the breach, saying it would launch ‘intense strikes’ on ‘the heart’ of the Iranian capital.
But Trump publicly warned it against targeting Tehran, writing on Truth Social: ‘ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!’
Reports have since emerged that Israel carried out a ‘small strike’ north of Tehran, with claims that it scaled back its planned attack after Trump called Benjamin Netanyahu to warn him against it.
Trump had told the warring sides to not violate the ceasefire last night, declaring that it marked a new chapter of ‘world peace’. He has since insisted that the ceasefire remains ‘in effect’.
