Donald Trump’s blistering F-word rant at Israel and Iran 

American businesses in UK ‘at risk of Iranian terror’

Donald Trump gave a furious and sweary response to the US media after Iran and Israel traded missiles hours after a ceasefire was called.

Here's everything he said to reporters as he walked to his helicopter.

The ceasefire

“I think they both violated it,” he said about the ceasefire he announced.

“I’m not sure they did it intentionally, [it is possible] they couldn’t reign people back. I don’t like the fact that Israel went out this morning at all and I’m going to see if I can stop it.”

The latest attacks

The US president was asked about the latest attacks between the two nations.

“I gotta get Israel to calm down now. 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. I’m not happy with Iran either. But with Israel, they just go out and drop everything you have on them…”

“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.”

The media

Trump went on a rant about the “fake news” reported by CNN about the state of the Iranian nuclear plants that he says were destroyed on a raid by US bombers.

“You are gutless losers,” he said about CNN. “I have no choice but to watch that garbage and it’s all garbage.”

Iran's final wave of attacks on Israel were launched minutes before the ceasefire went into effect, Iran's Revolutionary Guard says.

In a statement via the Tasnim news agency, the IRGC said it fired 14 missiles at Israeli military centres on Tuesday morning.

World leaders are wary of the threat of a developing crisis following the US carrying out strikes on Iranian power plants over the weekend and Russian president Vladimir Putin expressing support for Tehran. 

What has happened? 

Israel said an Iranian missile launch had been intercepted just two and a half hours after the ceasefire was announced.

Tehran denied it had attempted a strike but Israel Katz, defence minister, blamed Iranian for the breach of the ceasefire and pledged to strike back. 

He has since promised "intense strikes" in the "heart of Tehran".

What did Donald Trump say? 

The US president tweeted at around 5am BST and insinuated that a ceasefire had been agreed by requesting both sides not violate it, and both Israel and Iran appeared to have recognised this. 

Trump has since warned Israel "do not drop those bombs".

He added: "they've been fighting for so long and so hard, they don't know what the f*** they're doing".

"We have to have Israel to calm down because they went on a mission this morning," Donald Trump tells reporters.

"I've got to get Israel to calm down."

On reports that both Iran and Israel violated the ceasefire agreement, he says: "I'm not sure they did it intentionally. They couldn't rein 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."

He added: "As soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs," he adds. 

"The likes of which I've never seen before. The biggest load that we've seen. I'm not happy with Israel.

"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."

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told reporters en route to the Netherlands for the NATO summit that Israel and Iran must return to ceasefire.

He said: “ I want the ceasefire to continue, and therefore, obviously, the sooner we get back to that, the better. And that's the message that I'm discussing with others leaders today.

"We need to get back to that ceasefire, which is consistent with what I've been saying about deescalation for quite some time now."

Sir Keir added that he exchanged messages with the Emir of Qatar in relation to the attack yesterday.

Donald Trump says both Israel and Iran have violated the ceasefire.

He said he is "not happy" with Israel and Iran - adding he is "really unhappy" with Israel.

He said that Iran's nuclear capabilities are "gone" and Tehran will never rebuilt its nuclear programme due to the targeted strikes.

The US President spoke to reporters before leaving for the NATO summit in The Hague today.

He added in a Truth Social post that it would be a "major violation" if Israel dropped bombs on Iran now.

Trump writes: "ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!"

The Kremlin says it supports Tehran with its "clear position" condemning US and Israeli strikes.

Moscow spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia intends to deepen its ties with Tehran.

He said: "Many people are trying to spoil relations between Moscow and Tehran by adding fuel to the fire."

Mr Peskov added that Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, who held talks with Vladimir Putin in Moscow yesterday, had said he highly valued Russia's role.

UN human rights spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan told reporters in Geneva that the attack on Evin prison inn Iran was a "a grave breach of international humanitarian law" and "not a military objective".

Israel actioned the strike on the notorious prison, which killed at least 16 people according to Iran media and injured others, on Monday.

Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has revealed the government received a call from Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian.

At a press conference, he said Mr Pezeshkian expressed regret over strikes on a US-run military base in Qatar.

Mr Al Thani called the attack an "unacceptable act" but stressed his desire to not see any hostility in the Gulf neighbourhood.

He also said he had been involved in ceasefire brokering with Iran.
