Donald Trump drops an f-bomb live on air
President Donald Trump swore live on TV as he urged Israel “not to drop those bombs” after it ordered “powerful strikes” on Iran.
He said both counties “don’t know what the f*** they’re doing” in a sweary and concerning rant. He told reporters: “We have to have Israel to calm down because they went on a mission this morning. I’ve got to get Israel to calm down.”
Quizzed on reports that Israel and Iran violated the ceasefire, Trump responded: “I’m not sure they did it intentionally. They couldn’t reign people back. I don’t like the fact that Israel went out this morning, and I’m going to see if I can stop it. As soon as I get away from you, I’m going to see if I can stop it.”
Mr Trump then laid into both Iran and Israel, adding: “We have two countries that have fought for so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f*** they’re doing.” He went on to say that he didn’t like “plenty of things” he saw yesterday.
The president said he is “really unhappy” with Israel after they vowed to respond to a reported Iranian violation of the ceasefire. He went on: “I’m really unhappy with Israel going out this morning because of one rocket, that didn’t land and got shot, perhaps by mistake and didn’t land.”
It comes as Iranian officials vowed to “decisively respond” after it accused Israel of violating the ceasefire. The country’s Supreme National Security Council said its armed forces were ready.
The two warring nations had signed up to a ceasefire deal proposed by the US President. But Israel claimed Iran violated the deal by carrying out missile strikes after it came into force. Iran’s military chiefs denied this, but faced a fresh onslaught ordered by the Israeli defence minister Israel Katz.
Iran has accused Israel of having carried out strikes on the country after the ceasefire came into effect. It claims Israel struck Iran in three stages up until 9am local time, according to Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya central military headquarters said, the country’s state TV said.

Both sides accepted the agreement, but it is now unclear if it will hold. “Tehran will tremble,” Israeli Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich warned on X, raising the specter that the war might continue.
Israel’s Defence Minister Israel Katz said Iran’s “violation of the ceasefire” will not go unpunished, adding that he had ordered the Israel Defence Forces to “respond forcefully”. He said they will be deploying “intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran”.
Following Trump’s extraordinary comments, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he wants the ceasefire between Israel and Iran to continue.
“The sooner we get back to that, the better,” he said. “And that’s the message that I’m discussing with other leaders today. We need to get back to that ceasefire, which is consistent with what I’ve been saying about de-escalation for quite some time now.”
