Washington: In a fiery outburst, President Trump on Tuesday, slammed both Israel and Iran for violating a fragile ceasefire, declaring the two nations have been fighting "so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they're doing."

"These guys gotta calm down. It's ridiculous. I didn't like plenty of things that I saw yesterday. I didn't like the fact that Israel unloaded right after we made the deal ... and I didn't like the fact that the retaliation was very strong," Trump told reporters in Washington before leaving for the NATO summit in The Hague.

Trump said that both countries had "violated" the ceasefire that was announced late Monday.

"Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I've never seen before... The biggest load that we've seen, I'm not happy with Israel. When I say 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 him. I'm not happy with Iran either," said the US President.

"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 added.

Earlier on Tuesday, Trump issued a sharp message to Israel through his social media platform, Truth Social.

Iran launches missile strike on US Bases

On Monday night, Iran reportedly fired six missiles towards American military bases in Iraq and Qatar, intensifying the already escalating conflict.

As per media reports, the operation was named "Annunciation of Victory". However, there were reportedly no major impacts of the missile attack on the US bases in Qatar, as American Patriot missile defence systems intercepted the Iranian missiles.

Netanyahu declares success of Israeli operation

On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) had achieved "all of the objectives of Operation Rising Lion, and much more", thus agreeing to US President Donald Trump's proposal for a bilateral ceasefire.

"Israel has removed from over it a double existential threat – on both the nuclear issue and regarding ballistic missiles. The IDF also achieved complete air superiority in the skies over Tehran, struck a severe blow to the military leadership and destroyed dozens of Iran's main regime targets," read a statement issued by Netanyahu's office.

"In the last several days, the IDF has also severely struck regime targets in the heart of Tehran, eliminated hundreds of militants from the Basij, the terrorist regime's instrument of repression, and eliminated an additional senior nuclear scientist. Israel thanks President Trump and the US for their defensive support and for their participation in removing the Iranian nuclear threat," it mentioned further.

Iran justifies strike

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei on Tuesday afternoon stated that the country’s military action was in response to US and Israeli "criminal aggressions" and would not impact Iran’s regional relationships.

"Iran's military strikes on American military base 'Al-Udeid' was in exercise of our self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter in response to the United States' unprovoked aggression against Iran's territorial integrity and national sovereignty that took place on 22 June 2025. This act of self-defence had nothing to do with our friendly neighbour Qatar as we enjoy excellent and deeply rooted relationships," Baghaei posted on X.
