President Donald Trump issued a blunt warning to Israel on Tuesday to “not bomb Iran” as he departed for the NATO summit in The Hague, taking a critical position just 24 hours after brokering a fragile ceasefire already threatened after a missile strike from Iran.
Speaking to reporters before takeoff, the president said that both Israel and Iran had breached the terms of the truce and made clear he was “not pleased” with Israel’s promise to launch retaliatory airstrikes after agreeing to the deal.
Asked by a reporter about whether Iran had violated the ceasefire Trump replied: “They violated but Israel violated it, too.”
The president continued: “Israel as soon as we made the deal they came out and they dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I had never seen before. The biggest load that we have seen. I’m not happy with Israel.”
He added: “You know, when I say ‘okay, now you have 12 hours’ – you don’t go out in the first hour just drop everything you have on them. So I’m not happy with them. I’m not happy with Iran either. But I’m really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning because the one rocket that didn’t land, that was shot, perhaps by mistake, that didn’t land, I’m not happy about that.”

“Absolutely berserk” - no yellow journalism there.
MidEast ceasefires are always iffy, and never as complete as one would want. As the president says, “we’ll see what happens.”
If he had gone “Absolutely berserk” then Iran would be a charcoal pile...
Leftist Mediaite. They’re the ones that are absolutely berserk.
I don’t think Israel will be happy until they round up all the leaders of Iran and October 7 them. You know what I mean.
Cut funding to Israel.
I saw the clip, he was nowhere near “absolutely berserk”… he was perturbed at most.
HOORAY President Trump!
One thing we need to keep in mind here is that the government of Iran is likely in extreme disarray.
One hand likely doesn’t know what the other hand is doing. There are likely high level people engaging in vicious infighting, those doing the negotiating are likely being physically threatened with death by hardliners who want to fight to the death and so on.
This doesn’t surprise me that much.
He spoke the truth.
And the hyperbole of “journalism” is childish.
It’s all right there for those who have eyes to see and do not pretend.
Chopper Pressers are the best pressers. Departing the White House President Trump leads off his initial remarks by saying:
… “And I’m talking directly to Israel right now”… “I’m not happy with Israel, I’m not happy at all.” President Trump repeats.
President Trump is speaking about the increased fire the Israeli government conducted, as soon as the ceasefire was announced, and again talking about the ongoing retaliation fire that Israel is taking right now to a single Iran rocket that missed any Israeli target. “Israel needs to calm down,” he continued.
Then, to drive home the point and express his frustration, President Trump says,
“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! Do you understand that?”
He then turns his back in disgust and walks away.
..??..
BTTT
This so-called ceasefire is a fantasy.
Trump is about to learn first-hand how duplicitous and evil muslims really are. This will not end well for anybody.
This is a typica Mediaite clickbait headline. But I am glad that Trump went “berserk.” Unlike with Biden or Harris, people will listen when Trump goes berserk.
Golly darn it.
... and I conclude that is a necessary thing to do.
Is that a Gene Shepherd reference?
Glorioski.
