President Donald Trump left Sky News gobsmacked when he unleashed a heated rant about the ongoing Israel and Iran conflict in the Middle East
Sky News have been forced to apologise over Donald Trump’s expletive outburst live on air. The US President was speaking to reporters outside The White House before heading to a NATO summit after Israel and Iran had both violated their recent ceasefire decision.
Quizzed on reports that Israel and Iran violated their recent ceasefire agreement, 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.”
Speaking to the news crews, President Trump said: “Israel violated it too. Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and dropped a load of bombs.
“The likes of which I’d never seen before, the biggest load we had seen. 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 drop everything you have on them. I’m not happy with them, I’m not happy with Iran either.
“But I’m really unhappy if Israel are going out this morning because of one rocket, that didn’t land, that was shot. Perhaps by mistake, that didn’t land. We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard, that they don’t know what the f**k they’re doing – do you understand that?”
Seconds after the former reality star’s outburst, a Sky News anchor could be heard saying: “We’ll just apologise for that language from the US President, Donald Trump, who was speaking to reporters for that NATO summit and departing on Air Force One.”
Iranian officials have stated they will “decisively respond” after accusing Israel of breaching the ceasefire. The Supreme National Security Council have said the armed forces are ready. The two nations had only recently signed a ceasefire agreement, proposed by Trump, but Israel claimed that Iran violated it by carrying out missile strikes after it was put in place.
Iranian military chiefs have denied this, but have faced new orders from 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, 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 spectre 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.”
