Why is Trump upset at Israel when it was Iran who violated the ceasefire?

All Israel did was defend itself with a retaliatory bombing strike.

He should be getting upset with Iran and send more B-2s plus lots of B-52s in order to let them know that kind of thing isn’t tolerated.

Why is Trump upset at Israel when it was Iran who violated the ceasefire?

1. Both Israel and Iran issued attacks in the last hours leading up to the agreed time of the ceasefire.
2. The Israeli attacks killed hundred s of revolutionary guards and, IIRC, some generals and a nuclear scientist or two.
3. The Iranian attacks killed 4 civilians and wounded perhaps a score more.
4. That should have been the end of hostilities but Iran launched more. missiles hours after the ceasefire which fortunately were intercepted or fell without casualties.
5. President Trump looked at it perhaps in the same way as the last Iranian attack on U.S. bases where the missiles were intercepted or felll harmlessly. Israel saw it differently.
6. If the ceasefire persists and many nations join a peace agreement of sorts then it was better with the President’s approach. He does not want to lose this singular opportunity for peace and prosperity.
7. It also has ripples of hope that Russia/Ukraine and China/Taiwan can find peaceable resolutions. That is what he campaigned on.
8. If the Iranian regime remains in power and rearms to attack Israel, directly or through proxies, then Israel’s no tolerance policy may have been better.
