Trump Israel Iran ceasefire: In a fiery on-camera outburst, US President Donald Trump dropped an expletive while blaming both Israel and Iran for violating the ceasefire his administration brokered.

“I gotta get Israel to calm down now,” Trump told reporters outside the White House, as quoted by Reuters. “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. 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.”

Later, in a post on Truth Social, Trump maintained that the ceasefire remains active:

“ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES”

However, tensions on the ground appeared to contradict that message. Israeli defence minister Israel Katz said he had ordered the military to respond forcefully to what he claimed was a violation of the ceasefire by Iran. Katz’s directive came after Israel reported missile launches from Iran just two-and-a-half hours after Trump had declared the ceasefire effective at 06:08 GMT.

The Israeli government had earlier confirmed that it agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire following nearly two weeks of direct hostilities with Iran. Officials in Jerusalem said that Israel had achieved its objectives, neutralising what it described as an “immediate dual existential threat” from Iran — both nuclear and ballistic.

Iran, meanwhile, denied launching any missiles at Israel in the hours following the ceasefire announcement. The general staff of the Iranian army issued a statement rejecting reports of missile launches targeting Israel. At the same time, Tehran accused Israel of breaching the truce.

A spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya central military command said that Israel had struck Iranian targets in three phases, with attacks continuing until at least 9:00am local time (05:30 GMT). Iranian state TV earlier broadcast that the ceasefire would take effect at 7:30am local time on Tuesday.
