While
speaking with reporters on the White House lawn, Donald Trump expressed frustration with Iran and Israel.
"Iran violated it, but Israel violated it too. Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I've never seen before. The biggest load that we've seen," he alleged. "I'm not happy with Israel. You know, when I say 'OK, 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 with Israel going out this morning because of one rocket that didn't land. That was shot, perhaps by mistake and didn't land. I'm not happy about that. You know what? 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. Do you understand that?"

Before talking to the media, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account to send a strong message to Israel and its military.
"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," he wrote on the social media platform.
In an additional message, the Republican leader said, "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! Thank you for your attention to this matter!"

On Monday, June 23, Donald Trump — whose administration joined Israel in striking Iran — announced there was a ceasefire deal reached between the two nations to put an end to the 12-day battle.
"This is the end of the war. It is a great thing for Israel and the world," the right-wing politician said via
Axios.
In a Truth Social update, Trump added, "CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a complete and total CEASEFIRE. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both countries, Israel and Iran, on having the stamina, courage and intelligence to end, what should be called, 'THE 12 DAY WAR.'"
However, according to reports, Iran violated the alleged agreement after four Israelis were killed by Iranian missiles early on Tuesday.
