President Donald Trump went on a foul-mouthed tirade saying that both Israel and Iran violated the ceasefire deal that he announced Monday evening.
‘We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f*** they’re doing,’ Trump said before boarding Marine One en route to NATO early Tuesday morning.
During his scrum with reporters outside the White House, Trump complained that ahead of when the ceasefire was to take hold, Israel launched another assault on Iran.
‘Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I’ve never seen before, the biggest load that we’ve seen,’ Trump said.
‘I’m not happy with Israel,’ he added. ‘I’m not happy with Iran either. But I’m really unhappy if Israel’s going out this morning because of one rocket that didn’t land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn’t land. I’m not happy about that.’

A statement released from the office of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirms he refrained from launching further strikes on Iran today following a phone call with Donald Trump.
The Israeli Air Force destroyed a radar near Tehran in response to what Israel described as three Iranian breaches of the ceasefire agreement.
According to Netanyahu’s office, the ceasefire was first violated by an Iranian missile at 7:06am – six minutes after it came into effect before two further missiles were launched at 10:25am. All three fell into open areas and caused no damage.
While Israel launched its own strike in Tehran at 3am as part of what it described as ‘targeting regime sites and eliminating hundreds of Basij members and Iranian security forces.’
