US President, Donald Trump has communicated his displeasure, with not so nice words as barely 24hrs after announcing the cease fire deal between Iran and Israel, it was violated.
The president was particularly frustrated with the Nation Israel, who were the first to violate the Ceasefire deal
Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump appeared visibly angry and used unusually blunt language to describe the situation.
“The two countries have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing, do you understand that?” he said, referring to Iran and Israel.
“I’m really unhappy with Israel,” he added, criticizing its actions following what was intended to be a de-escalation deal.

Despite Trump’s declaration on Monday that a ceasefire between Iran and Israel had been reached, tensions quickly increased over night.
After Iranian forces allegedly fired two missiles into Israeli territory on Tuesday morning, Israel’s defense minister accused Iran of violating the agreement,
which further changed the course of events.

Israel then responded by vowing retaliation and threatening “intense” strikes against Tehrani regime targets.
Furthermore the ceasefire’s implementation and timeline were unclear.
Despite Trump’s early Tuesday declaration that the truce had “taken effect,”
fighting went on as Israeli and Iranian forces exchanged strikes in the early hours of the day, killing five Israelis and nine Iranians.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi suggested on social media that his country would halt its military response only if Israel ceased its “illegal aggression.”
He also added that Iran’s final decision on ending military operations would be determined later,
casting further doubt on the durability of the truce.
The White House, which had hoped the ceasefire would reduce tensions between the two longtime enemies, faces a serious challenge
as the flare-up represents yet another setback for diplomatic efforts in the Middle East.
The ceasefire deal was in jeopardy as the brief lull was replaced by new violence.
