Trump blasts Israel for dropping ‘a load of bombs’ after agreeing to truce
We can now bring you more comments from Trump on the status of the Israel-Iran truce.
He told reporters that he thinks both sides “violated it”. “I’m not sure they did it intentionally. They couldn’t reign people back,” he said. But Trump said he is especially displeased with Israel, which “dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I’ve never seen” right after agreeing to a truce.
“When I say, ‘you have 12 hours’, you don’t go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them,” Trump complained.
“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,” Trump concluded before boarding the Marine One aircraft.
IRGC says its last attack on Israel was launched before ceasefire started
Iran’s last wave of missiles against Israel was carried out minutes before a ceasefire implementation in response to deadly Israeli strikes, the IRGC has said in a statement reported by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
It said 14 missiles were launched against military centres across Israel, adding that Iranian armed forces will continue to monitor “enemy movements with open and vigilant eyes”, Tasnim reported.
Yeah and they landed after the ceasefire started. Just like Israel, drop everything you had ready for the coming days right before the deadline.

Trump ‘annoyed’ with Netanyahu for breaking ceasefire
Trump is feeling “quite annoyed” at and perhaps “betrayed” by Netanyahu after Israel launched attacks on Iran, violating the ceasefire, says Al Jazeera’s US correspondent Phil Lavelle.
As the US president prepared to fly to Europe for a NATO summit, he told reporters of his frustration that both Israel and Iran had violated the terms of their ceasefire agreement, just hours after it was announced.
Before his departure, Trump also swore while making comments about Israel and Iran. “He was angry with both Israel and Iran. But you could really tell some of the extra anger there, the extra fury was aimed at Israel,” Lavelle noted.
He added that Trump “obviously feels quite annoyed, and betrayed, perhaps, by Benjamin Netanyahu”. Trump spoke to Netanyahu on Monday to get his backing for the ceasefire, before enlisting the help of Qatar to get Iranian support for the proposal.
