June 24, 2025 – Washington, D.C. — The U.S. President Donald Trump has accused both Iran and Israel of violating a recent ceasefire agreement. The ceasefire aimed to stop escalating conflict in the Middle East. Trump delivered his comments during a press briefing and then posted a strongly worded statement directed at Israel.
In his statement, Trump said, “Iran and Israel have both broken their promises. The ceasefire intended to bring calm and stability, but instead, we’re seeing more rockets, more airstrikes, and more chaos.”
Shortly after speaking to the media, Trump posted a statement that quickly went viral:
“ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES”
The message, written in ALL CAPS, drew swift international attention. It surprised many, as Trump had been a vocal supporter of Israel throughout his presidency.
The ceasefire agreement, brokered with help from the EU and the United Nations, aimed to halt violence between Israel and Iranian-backed forces. It came after several weeks of deadly clashes in Gaza, southern Lebanon, and near the Golan Heights. The terms required all parties to stop offensive operations and allow humanitarian aid.
Since its announcement, the ceasefire has appeared fragile. Iran has denied launching any direct attacks but continues to support groups that have fired rockets at Israeli cities. Israel, in turn, claims it has only acted in self-defense. It confirmed several retaliatory airstrikes in southern Lebanon and along its northern border.
Some observers believe it was an effort to position himself as a peacekeeper and defender of the ceasefire ahead of the 2024 election. Others say it could destabilize a sensitive situation.
Dr. Lila Hassan, a Middle East affairs expert, noted, “Trump’s message might escalate tensions further. While it calls for restraint, the tone could provoke strong reactions from Israeli leadership.”
As of now, there is no official public record of a formal statement by the Israeli government in response to Trump’s tweet using the specific words “misguided and misinformed.” Media outlets have widely reported Israel’s continued insistence that it is only responding defensively to provocations from Iranian-aligned groups.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry welcomed Trump’s warning to Israel but denied any involvement in the recent rocket fire. An official said,
“Even Trump now sees who is really causing instability.”
As of Tuesday, the White House had not responded directly to Trump’s remarks. A spokesperson for the State Department reiterated support for the ceasefire and called for all sides to show restraint.
With tensions rising again, the future of the agreement remains uncertain. Trump’s comments have reignited debate about U.S. influence in the region and the former president’s ongoing role in foreign affairs.
