Enraged Trump blasts Israel and Iran over ceasefire violations

BEIRUT — President Trump excoriated both Israel and Iran over what he said were violations of the surprise ceasefire between the two nations and that was set to begin Tuesday morning, underscoring the tenuousness of a deal meant to bring a denouement to the fiercest confrontation in the belligerents’ decades-long enmity.

“We have two countries that have been fighting for so hard and so long they don’t know what the f—they are doing,” said Trump in an enraged briefing to journalists ahead of his trip to the NATO summit.

The details of the ceasefire — which was brokered by Trump and Qatar’s leadership hours after a limited volley of Iranian ballistic missiles targeted the United States’ Al Udeid Air Base on Monday — remain unclear, but it had spurred cautious optimism across the Middle East.

Yet its fragility was emphasized when Israel accused Iran of breaking the agreement mere hours after it was supposed to take effect, with the Israeli military saying it intercepted a pair of ballistic missiles fired from Iran and that it would respond.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a statement he instructed the Israeli military “to continue the intensive operation to strike in Tehran and thwart regime targets and terror infrastructure in Tehran.”

Iran’s General Staff of the Armed Forces Abdolrahim Mousavi denied any launch after the truce’s beginning according to Iranian official media. A later IRGC statement said 14 missiles were fired “in the last minutes” before the ceasefire.

A visibly enraged Trump castigated both sides for the violations, saying he was not happy with either country.

“These guys gotta calm down,” he said in a briefing to journalists before flying out to the NATO summit in Europe. “I don’t like the fact that Israel went out this morning at all, and I’m going to see...”

President Trump simply went a “bridge to far”

Not enraged but rightly upset with both Israel and Iran. He correctly noted that both had been fighting so long they didn’t know any better.

In the Middle East, “Ceasefire” is another way of saying “Reload!”

Yep, President Trump is out of patience, and the LA Slimes works up enough courage to say it.

Now go back to the Commie Narrative, Slimes.

It is always a mistake to ever trust any radical-Marxist-Islamist, particularly the ones in Iran.

I just hate these overblown words like “outraged” and other hyped up words. He did say the forbidden “F” word, but that’s already been put to use many times by the “squad” sluts, so it shouldn’t hurt anyone’s ears by now.

What "ceasefure violations"?

I thought the missiles fired back and forth were after the ceasefire agreement but BEFORE the agreement was to take effect..

trying to impose a cease fire was simply a bit premature

it will happen in the natural course of events (in probably just a couple weeks) after the IDF eliminates the rest of the dangerous weapons still in the hands of the rabid IslamoNazi Teheran regime

I also believe that we may well see the Iranian people rise up and install a sane, un-dangerous government there, soon. Let’s give them a little time to achieve this. If they do it, and I believe they will, it will solve a great deal for us all around the world.

As much as we’d all like it to be true, the reality is that the Iranian people have NEVER had a sane and un-dangerous government. It’s just a question of what other world power pulls the strings and provides the bulk of their weapons.

The Shah was a dictator, as was the ruler he replaced in 1954 with CIA help. We all know the Islamic Republic is a dictatorship, so preserving itself is really the only concern they have.

While it would be nice to ALSO have a ceasefire (or end of hostilities), the destruction of the nuke facilities was the reason for our involvement. So, winning! Anything else good that comes out of this is just icing on the cake.

Re: “Ceasefire”

Israel has never declared that any of its neighbors have no right to exist.

The Islamofascistnazis do not just declare that Israel has no right to exist. They declare that no Jew has the right to keep breathing.

And never forget. Just like “from the river to the sea” the Islamofascistnazis also declare: “First, the Saturday people, then the Sunday people.” First, the Jews, then the Christians.

well, okay then.... we can hope for a new dictator that is not seeking to invade or exterminate other countries and their peoples

perhaps (I don’t know for sure) the Shah’s son (he does speak well, for whatever this may be worth)
or someone else, just anyone that won’t be building ICBM’s to nuke USA for starters.

I think this is a reasonable hope. I admittedly can’t know whether it will come about, though. The Iranian people do have this opportunity now, or soon as the IDF continues to eliminate more of the current insane dictatorship’s tools and means of oppression
