Trump, Frustrated at Israel, Iran over Early Violation of Ceasefire

United States president Donald Trump expressed his disappointment at Israel and Iran for mutually breaking the ceasefire he designed to put an end to the destructive, escalating war between the two military powers.

Responding to the questions of a reporter in Washington on Tuesday, 24 June 2025 (Philippine time), Trump expressed dismay over Israel’s aerial assault against Iran immediately after the ceasefire agreement was made.

They [Iranian people] violated it, but Israel violated it, too. Israel, as soon as we made the [ceasefire] deal, they came out and 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. You know, when I say, ‘O.K., now, you have 12 hours’, you don’t go out in the first hour and just drop everything you have on them,” vented Trump.

In a narration of events by the office of Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel launched missile strikes against Iran hours before the time of effectivity of the truce. Likewise prior to the ceasefire, the Islamic state responded with multiple projectiles to Israeli land, slaying four citizens in the city of Beersheba. Minutes after the truce was supposed to take effect, Iran fired one missile, and hours after, two more. This prompted the Israeli forces to launch an offensive against Iran via destroying a radar system in the vicinity of capital city Tehran.

On the part of the Islamic state, Iranian state media denied Israel’s accusation of ceasefire violation.

Israel’s last move appears to be the final assault from both sides after the effectivity of the truce.

Presently, the ceasefire goes on, where both the Israeli military and Iranian armed forces hold their fire at each other.

The world watches the two countries’ faithful observance of the truce, hoping that this will end the war completely all towards averting further deaths, lost of properties and infrastructure, and across-the-globe adverse economic and political ripples.
