President Donald Trump blasted Iran and Israel for violating a ceasefire deal just hours after it went into effect, angrily telling reporters Tuesday that neither side knows “what the fuck they’re doing!”
“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. I’m not happy with Israel,” he said outside the White House.
“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing! Do you understand that?”

— CSPAN (@cspan) June 24, 2025Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz accused Iran of being the first to fire missiles after the ceasefire was supposed to take effect, which Iran denied.
The attacks followed Trump publicly announcing a ceasefire on his Truth Social platform, which he urged both sides not to violate. After both sides exchanged missile fire, he issued a warning to Israel.
“ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!” he posted.
