President unleashes extraordinary profanity-laced tirade before boarding Marine One for NATO summit as both sides violate ceasefire within HOURS
Donald Trump stunned reporters with an explosive f-bomb on the White House lawn this morning, declaring that Israel and Iran “don’t know what the f*** they’re doing” as his celebrated Middle East ceasefire collapsed in spectacular fashion.
The President’s extraordinary outburst came as he prepared to board Marine One for a NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands – but instead of triumphant diplomacy, he was forced to confront the immediate failure of a peace deal he’d announced just hours earlier.
“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 told assembled journalists, his frustration boiling over as cameras rolled.
The profanity-laced tirade marked a dramatic escalation in Trump’s rhetoric after both nations violated the ceasefire agreement almost immediately after it came into effect, with Israel intercepting what it claimed were Iranian ballistic missiles fired in breach of the truce.
‘The biggest load I’ve ever seen’
Trump saved his harshest criticism for Israel, accusing America’s closest Middle Eastern ally of unleashing devastating strikes the moment the ceasefire was announced.
“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 President fumed. “The biggest load that we’ve seen.”
His anger was palpable as he continued: “I’m not happy with Israel. You know, when I say, ‘OK now you have 12 hours,’ you don’t go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them.”
The President’s fury intensified after Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz announced plans to “respond forcefully” to alleged Iranian violations with “intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran.
Truth Social warning in ALL CAPS
Trump’s rage reached new heights once aboard Air Force One, where he fired off an urgent message on Truth Social written entirely in capital letters:
“ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!
The stark warning represented one of the most direct American attempts to restrain Israeli military action in recent memory, underscoring the gravity of the rapidly deteriorating situation.
Speaking to reporters before his departure, Trump revealed his immediate diplomatic priorities: “I’ve got to get Israel to calm down now.
From triumph to disaster in hours
Just 24 hours earlier, Trump had basked in what appeared to be a major foreign policy victory. His announcement on Monday evening that both nations had agreed to a “Complete and Total CEASEFIRE” was met with relief across the region and praise from world leaders.
This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will!” Trump had posted triumphantly, adding: “God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!
The deal, painstakingly brokered with crucial assistance from Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, followed a devastating 12-day conflict that began when Israel launched surprise strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities on June 13.
Immediate violations spark crisis
But the ceasefire’s collapse was swift and devastating. Israel’s military claimed it detected two ballistic missiles launched from Iran at 10:30am local time – allegations Tehran vehemently denied.
The Israeli response was immediate and forceful, with Defence Minister Katz declaring: “I have instructed the IDF to respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire with intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran.
Iran’s General Staff flatly rejected the accusations, with state media carrying their denial of any missile launches. Iranian officials instead accused Israel of continuing strikes 90 minutes past the ceasefire deadline.
NATO summit overshadowed
Trump’s departure for the NATO summit in The Hague – meant to showcase American leadership and his administration’s foreign policy achievements – was completely overshadowed by the Middle East crisis.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, speaking ahead of the summit, urged both nations to heed Trump’s call for restraint, praising the initial ceasefire as a “positive development” while warning that the conflict must not be allowed to plunge the region into wider war.
I appeal to both Iran and Israel to heed this call,” Merz said, thanking Qatar and other regional states for their restraint during what he called “dramatic last few days and hours.
Deadly final hours before ‘peace’
The hours leading up to the ceasefire’s implementation had seen some of the conflict’s deadliest exchanges. At least four people were killed when Iranian missiles struck a residential building in Beersheba, southern Israel, with emergency services describing “extensive destruction.
“There was extensive damage and destruction to residential buildings as a result of a direct and fatal hit,” said Eliya Yitzhak Tobol, head of the Beer Sheva branch of emergency responders United Hatzalah.
In Iran, state media reported nine deaths including a nuclear scientist in northern Gilan province from Israeli strikes that continued virtually until the ceasefire deadline.
Trump’s diplomatic gamble fails
The spectacular failure of the ceasefire represents a stunning blow to Trump’s foreign policy ambitions. White House officials had suggested the agreement vindicated the President’s decision to order US strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend.
According to sources, Trump had personally communicated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Mideast Envoy Steve Witkoff worked Iranian channels through intermediaries.
But the rapid breakdown has left the administration scrambling, with Trump’s unfiltered frustration on display for the world to see.
‘They’re not happy with me’
As Marine One prepared to lift off from the South Lawn, Trump offered a final, candid assessment of the situation: “I’m not happy with them. I’m not happy with Iran either.
The President’s use of profanity on live television – rare even by Trump’s standards – underscored the depth of his anger at seeing his diplomatic achievement crumble before his eyes.
For an administration that had hoped to arrive at the NATO summit trumpeting a major peace deal, the reality was starkly different: a President cursing on camera, a ceasefire in tatters, and two Middle Eastern powers seemingly determined to continue a conflict that threatens to engulf the entire region.
As Trump’s helicopter disappeared into the Washington sky, bound for a summit that would now be dominated by crisis management rather than celebration, one thing was clear: the promise of peace in the Middle East remained as elusive as ever, despite – or perhaps because of – the President’s unconventional diplomatic methods.
