President Donald Trump is “not happy” that Israel fired rockets at Iran shortly after the nation’s ceasefire with Iran took effect.
“Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped the load of bombs, the likes of which I’ve never seen before,” Trump told reporters before flying to the Netherlands for the NATO summit. “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,” Trump added.
Trump held a “firm and direct” call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this morning, a White House source told CNN.
Israel struck a radar site north of Tehran hours after accusations that Iran had fired several missiles at Israel.
Israel held off further strikes after Netanyahu spoke to Trump, according to the prime minister’s office.
Trump confirmed the ceasefire is still in effect.
“All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social after boarding Air Force One.
“Israel. Do not drop those bombs. If you do it it is a major violation. Bring your pilots home, now!” he had said in a previous post.
