DONALD TRUMP has blasted both Israel and Iran in a furious tirade, claiming neither country “knows what the f— they’re doing” after a dramatic flare-up threatened to shatter a fragile ceasefire.
The US President erupted on his Truth Social platform after Israel vowed to retaliate against Tehran, demanding Tel Aviv ground its fighter jets immediately.
“ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!” Trump thundered in all caps, in a post that stunned global observers.
The outburst came as tensions spiralled just hours after a ceasefire was announced between the two long-time foes. Israel claimed Iran fired two ballistic missiles towards its north in what it called a “flagrant breach.” Tehran denied it and pointed the finger straight back at Israel.
Trump didn’t mince his words about Iran either: “I’m not happy with Iran. But I’m really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning because of one rocket that didn’t land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake,” he said.
“Basically, we’ve got two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f— they’re doing.”
The US commander-in-chief, known for his bombastic but often effective diplomacy, is being credited by some for helping broker the ceasefire — even if it now hangs by a thread.
Brexiteer Ben Habib hailed the deal this morning, tweeting: “I am delighted to see a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. It would appear that @realDonaldTrump has played a blinder. Let’s pray for peace.”
Despite the chaos, many analysts believe Israel’s lightning-fast strikes over the past week have crippled key parts of Iran’s military capabilities.
Insiders say the blitz has potentially set Iran’s nuclear ambitions back years, destroyed over a third of its missile launchers, and exposed serious flaws in Tehran’s air defence systems.
Even more significant — not a single American boot has touched the ground.
As the world watches nervously, the message from Trump was loud and clear: “STAND DOWN — OR ELSE.”
Well done America!
