On June 24, 2025, US President Donald Trump spoke emotionally about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, expressing deep dissatisfaction with the violation of the ceasefire he had announced. According to the Baza Telegram channel, Trump had previously stated that the ceasefire agreement between the two countries had entered into force, but a few hours later both sides accused each other of violating the agreement, which caused a sharp reaction from the American leader.

According to Trump's statement on the night of June 24, the ceasefire brokered by the US and Qatar was supposed to end the so-called "12-day war" between Israel and Iran. Under the terms of the agreement, Iran was to cease hostilities first, with Israel to join in 12 hours later. Trump called the agreement a historic step toward peace, expressing hope for "great love, peace, and prosperity" for both countries. He wrote about this on his social network Truth Social, emphasizing that "the whole world will be a winner" thanks to this deal.

However, on the morning of June 24, the ceasefire was already under threat. According to the Israeli military, Iran launched several missiles into Israeli territory less than three hours after the agreement came into force. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz accused Tehran of a “gross violation” of the ceasefire and announced preparations for “intensive strikes” against targets in Tehran. In response, Iran categorically denied any involvement in the missile attacks, claiming that Israeli forces continued to strike Iranian territory an hour and a half after the ceasefire was announced.

US media outlets including The New York Times and CNN reported that Trump was "furious" at the actions of both sides, but he was particularly critical of Israel.

"I'm not happy with Iran, but I'm really very unhappy with Israel," — the US President said before leaving for the NATO summit in The Hague.

He accused Israel of "unloading" the strikes immediately after the ceasefire was announced, calling it a "serious violation." Trump also called on Israeli pilots to "come home immediately" and refrain from further attacks, saying:

"Don't drop those bombs!"

Trump did not hold back his emotions in his statements, using strong language. According to the Daily Mail, the US President even resorted to foul language when commenting on the actions of the parties on television, which caused a wide resonance in the international press. Later, on his platform Truth Social, Trump wrote: “Israel and Iran don’t know what the hell they’re doing,” emphasizing that the violation of the ceasefire could lead to serious consequences for both countries.

Already in the afternoon of June 24, Trump made a new statement that somewhat softened his previous rhetoric. He said that Israel had called off the planned strikes on Iran, and all aircraft were returning to base, performing a “friendly aircraft salute.”

"No one will be hurt, the truce is in effect!" — the president wrote in Truth Social.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to hold off on further strikes after a private conversation with Trump, according to sources close to the talks.

However, the situation remains tense. Iran continues to insist that it has not violated the ceasefire and accuses Israel of provocations. At the same time, the Israeli side claims that it is acting solely in response to Tehran's aggression. According to Al Jazeera, Qatar, which played a key role in the negotiations, continues to contact Iranian officials to maintain the fragile ceasefire.

Trump's truce has drawn mixed reactions. Leaders in the region expressed cautious optimism, welcoming the U.S. initiative. China said it "hoped" the agreement would be implemented quickly, while Russia, according to Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, supported the ceasefire but said it was too early to draw definitive conclusions because of ongoing recriminations.

In Israel, the opposition called on Netanyahu to use the truce as an opportunity to resolve not only the conflict with Iran but also the 20-month war with Hamas in Gaza. In Iran, state media said the truce was “imposed” on Tehran and claimed Trump “begged” them to accept the deal after Iran’s successful attack on a US base in Qatar.

The conflict between Israel and Iran, which escalated in early June 2025, has already caused significant destruction. According to Pravda, Israeli airstrikes destroyed most of Iran’s medium- and long-range air defense systems in the early days of the war, allowing Israel to dominate the airspace. However, Iranian missile strikes, including an attack on a US base in Qatar, have demonstrated Tehran’s ability to retaliate, further escalating the situation.
