Donald Trump slammed Israel and Iran over a faltering ceasefire deal Tuesday, hours after insisting the agreement would last “forever.”
Donald Trump unloaded on both Israel and Iran Tuesday (June 24) morning before heading to the NATO summit in The Hague, venting his anger over the apparent unraveling of a ceasefire he had personally championed just hours earlier.
“We 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 during a tense exchange with reporters.
Trump, who had declared the ceasefire “unlimited,” appeared blindsided by reports of renewed violence.
“I think the ceasefire is unlimited. It’s going to go forever,” he had said confidently during a Monday night NBC interview. “I don’t think they will ever be shooting at each other again.”
But by sunrise Tuesday, Trump’s tone had flipped. He accused both sides of undermining the truce, though he reserved his sharpest criticism for Israel.
“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. You know, when I say, ‘OK, now you have 12 hours,’ you don’t go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them. So I’m not happy with them. I’m not happy with Iran either.”

Moments later, Trump took to Truth Social to issue a blunt warning: “ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!”
Despite the escalating tensions, Trump insisted the ceasefire had not technically been broken.
The ceasefire, brokered after a deadly stretch of direct conflict between Israel and Iran, had raised hopes of a de-escalation in a region teetering on the edge of a broader war.
The violence followed U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, which had drawn global concern over potential American entanglement.
