US President Donald Trump sharply rebuked Israel on Tuesday (Jun 24) for its military response following a ceasefire deal, and accused both Israel and Iran of violating the agreement just hours after he announced it.
"Israel is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly 'plane wave' to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the ceasefire is in effect!" he said on Truth Social.
If it holds, the truce would be a big political win for Trump. It comes after he decided to send US bombers over the weekend to attack three nuclear facilities in Iran that Israel and the US say were being used to build an atomic bomb in secret.
