US President Donald Trump says both Israel and Iran have violated the ceasefire in the Middle East.
Speaking to reporters before leaving for the NATO summit in The Hague, he said he’s “not happy” with Israel and Iran, before adding he is “really unhappy” with Israel.
Trump adds that Iran’s nuclear capacities are “gone” and says Tehran will never rebuild its nuclear programme.
In a subsequent Truth Social post, Trump said it would be a “major violation” if Israel were to drop bombs on Iran now, telling Israel to “bring your pilots home, now”.
“We have to have Israel calm down because they went on a mission this morning,” he tells reporters. “I’ve got to get Israel to calm down.”
On reports that both Israel and Iran violated the ceasefire, Trump says: “I’m not sure they did it intentionally. They couldn’t rein people back. I don’t like the fact that Israel went out this morning, and I’m going to see if I can stop it. As soon as I get away from you, I’m going to see if I can stop it.”
“As soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs,” he adds.
“The likes of which I’ve never seen before. The biggest load that we’ve seen. I’m not happy with Israel. 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.” (Sky News)
