Trump upset with Israel and Iran over ceasefire issues

President Donald Trump showed frustration with Israel and Iran as he spoke to reporters before heading to a NATO summit in The Hague. His anger stemmed from both countries breaking a ceasefire he had announced just hours earlier. “These two nations have been fighting for so long they don’t even know what they’re doing,” Trump said, using strong words to express his disappointment.

The ceasefire, meant to end 12 days of intense fighting, faced early challenges. Israel reported a missile from Iran, while Iran claimed it didn’t fire any after the truce began. Israel responded by hitting a radar site near Tehran. Trump, clearly upset, urged both sides to stop and later called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Air Force One to push for calm.

Despite the shaky start, the ceasefire seemed to hold later that day. Trump’s blunt remarks highlighted his hands-on approach to the conflict, which he had supported with U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear sites days earlier. He also posted on Truth Social, insisting Iran’s nuclear program was destroyed. As Trump flew to the NATO summit, he balanced his criticism with hope for peace, saying the situation would calm down. His strong words and actions show his effort to control the tense situation while managing global alliances.
