STORY: :: Profanity warning
:: Donald Trump use the F-word as he says he's 'not happy' with Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire
:: June 24, 2025
"I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, 'OK, 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 them. I'm not happy with Iran either. But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning, because the one rocket, that didn't land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn't land, I'm not happy about that."
"You know what, we have, we basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they are doing. Do you understand that?"
Trump expressed particular frustration with Israel which had announced major new strikes on Tehran.
Earlier, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz had said he had ordered the military to mount new strikes on targets in Tehran in response to what he said were Iranian missiles fired in a "blatant violation" of the ceasefire.
Iran denied launching any missiles and said Israel's attacks had continued for an hour and a half beyond the time the ceasefire was meant to start.
Despite the initial violations, in both countries, the wider Middle East and around the world there was palpable sense of relief that a path out of war had been charted, 12 days after Israel launched it with a surprise attack, and two days after Trump joined in with strikes on Iranian nuclear targets.
