On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was holding, despite his earlier criticisms of both nations. He expressed frustration, accusing them of breaching the truce and using strong language to emphasize his discontent.
In a rapid succession of announcements, the 79-year-old Republican, en route to a NATO summit in The Hague, took to his Truth Social app to declare, “The Ceasefire is in effect!”
Reports indicate that Israel has no plans to launch an attack on Iran. All aircraft will reverse course and return to their departure points, offering a cordial ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran in the process. “Nobody will be hurt,” Trump stated.
Just moments prior, he had sharply criticized both Iran and Israel, a close ally of the United States, for breaching a ceasefire that he had initially declared late on Monday.
The two nations have been engaged in such prolonged and intense conflict that they have lost sight of their objectives. Do you comprehend that? The president addressed reporters at the White House.
As he left for the NATO summit, Trump addressed reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, stating that Iran had breached the ceasefire, adding, “But Israel violated it too.”
There is dissatisfaction with their performance. Concerns regarding Iran have also been expressed. Concerns are rising as reports indicate that Israel may be exiting this morning, leaving many feeling discontented.
“I need to find a way to ease tensions in Israel,” he stated. “Following the agreement, Israel launched an unprecedented barrage of bombs, the intensity of which was unlike anything I had witnessed previously.”
In an unprecedented move, the US President expressed his frustration with Israel, seemingly urging the ally to halt military operations involving warplanes in real-time.
Earlier that morning, he took to Truth Social to share a message: “ISRAEL.” “DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS,” he stated, leaving the specific nature of the bombs in question ambiguous.
Engaging in such actions constitutes a significant breach of protocol. “It is time to bring our pilots home immediately!”
