President Donald Trump announced Tuesday morning that the ceasefire between Iran and Israel was back in effect, just moments after dropping an epic F-bomb on both countries for breaking the agreement.
“ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran,” Trump wrote on Truth Social just before 7:30 a.m. “Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The announcement came moments after Trump raged at both nations while speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews before departing for a NATO summit at The Hague.
“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f**k they’re doing, do you understand?” Trump told reporters.

“I think they both violated it,” he said, referring to Israel’s promise to resume attacks after accusing Iran of firing missiles at Israeli civilians after the ceasefire went into effect Tuesday morning.
The president said he was frustrated with Israel’s immediate military response following the ceasefire deal.
“Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and dropped a boatload of bombs the likes of which I’ve never seen before. The biggest load that we’ve seen, I’m not happy with Israel,” Trump said.
“OK, when I say 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 him. I’m not happy with Iran either,” the president added.
Trump said he was particularly “unhappy if Israel is going out this morning because of one rocket that didn’t land, that was shot perhaps by mistake, but didn’t land,” referring to Israeli allegations that Iran fired missiles after the ceasefire.
Before announcing the ceasefire was back on, Trump had posted a stark warning to Israel on Truth Social: “ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.”
Four civilians were killed in Israel by an Iranian missile strike moments before the ceasefire was supposed to go into effect. Israel’s defense minister then instructed the military to “respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire with intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran,” according to reports.
Trump managed to get both parties to agree to obey the ceasefire, despite the escalating tensions — which follow Saturday night strikes by US B-2 bombers against Iran’s nuclear sites. Trump made clear he had to “get Israel to calm down now” as the situation developed throughout the morning.
