Trump uncensored: US President drops an expletive in fiery tirade over Iran, Israel
Trump Israel Iran ceasefire: In a fiery on-camera outburst, US President Donald Trump dropped an expletive while blaming both Israel and Iran for violating the ceasefire his administration brokered.
'I gotta get Israel to calm down now,' Trump told reporters outside the White House, as quoted by Reuters. '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 biggest load that we've seen. 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.'
Strong from the president this morning –
He tells me:

Later, in a post on Truth Social, Trump maintained that the ceasefire remains active:
'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! Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES'
However, tensions on the ground appeared to contradict that message. Israeli defence minister Israel Katz said he had ordered the military to respond forcefully to what he claimed was a violation of the ceasefire by Iran. Katz's directive came after Israel reported missile launches from Iran just two-and-a-half hours after Trump had declared the ceasefire effective at 06:08 GMT.
The Israeli government had earlier confirmed that it agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire following nearly two weeks of direct hostilities with Iran. Officials in Jerusalem said that Israel had achieved its objectives, neutralising what it described as an 'immediate dual existential threat' from Iran — both nuclear and ballistic.
Iran, meanwhile, denied launching any missiles at Israel in the hours following the ceasefire announcement. The general staff of the Iranian army issued a statement rejecting reports of missile launches targeting Israel. At the same time, Tehran accused Israel of breaching the truce.
A spokesperson for Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya central military command said that Israel had struck Iranian targets in three phases, with attacks continuing until at least 9:00am local time (05:30 GMT). Iranian state TV earlier broadcast that the ceasefire would take effect at 7:30am local time on Tuesday.

US & EU trade pacts to be concluded soon: Nirmala Sitharaman
The negotiations for a bilateral trade deal with the United States and a free trade agreement with the European Union (EU) are progressing "really intensely" and should be concluded soon, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said Tuesday. Countering a US-led narrative that India is a "tariff king," she said the government has brought down customs duty slabs to eight "including the zero rate" and that effective rates are much lower than the tariff rate, or the maximum possible tax on imports. India has already signed free trade agreements with the United Arab Emirates, Australia, and the four-nation EFTA (European Free Trade Association) bloc, while negotiations with the UK have been completed, Sitharaman said at a trade conclave organised by the Exim Bank here. The emphasis now is on concluding more free trade agreements, she added. India has deepened its participation in global value chains. Apple's iPhone contract manufacturers have crossed the 20% domestic value addition (DVA) threshold across variants, the minister said. Citing the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) World Investment Report 2025, she said India's position has improved though the global FDI flows dropped 11%. Export Focus Indian exports grew at an annual rate of 6.3% between 2010 and 2023 when global exports grew at 4%, and the country's share in global exports touched 3% in 2023 from 2.2% in 2010, as per the UNCTAD report. "Exporters are swimming against tides and succeeding," Sitharaman said. The country's total exports reached an all-time high of $825 billion in FY25, recording a 6% growth from previous year, despite global uncertainties, she noted. "In the last few years, global growth and trade have suffered," she said. "There was Russia-Ukraine war, then it was Israel-Gaza. Every year, we have had one or the other serious challenge to do with trade." India aims to achieve the export target of $2 trillion by 2030. Speaking at the conclave, financial services secretary M Nagaraju said India continues to be a beacon of hope and growth amidst all the global headwinds.

US tests missile radar for Golden Dome integration to track threats from China, Russia
The Pentagon has successfully tested a long-range radar system in Alaska capable of detecting missile threats from Russia or China, with potential future integration into the Golden Dome missile defence shield read more US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth speaks about the Golden Dome missile defence shield, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, D.C., US, on May 20, 2025. Reuters File The Pentagon has successfully tested a long-range radar system in Alaska capable of detecting missile threats from Russia or China, with potential future integration into the Golden Dome missile defence shield. According to a Reuters report, citing Pentagon on Tuesday, the Long Range Discrimination Radar successfully acquired, tracked, and reported missile target data. These are key tasks for Golden Dome, a $175 billion programme aimed at protecting the US and possibly allies from ballistic missiles, added the report. The US Defence Department's long-range radar in central Alaska, developed by Lockheed Martin, is part of the Ground-Based Midcourse Defence system aimed at enhancing the performance of missile interceptors stationed in Alaska and California. These interceptors are tasked with neutralising potential threats from Iran or North Korea. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The US Missile Defense Agency, in coordination with the US Space Force and US Northern Command, carried out a flight test of the radar on Monday at Clear Space Force Station in Alaska. During this test, a target developed by MDA was air-launched over the Northern Pacific Ocean and flew over 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) off the southern coast of Alaska where it was tracked by LRDR. The Golden Dome missile defence shield is designed to establish a satellite-based network capable of detecting, tracking, and intercepting incoming missiles. Modeled after Israel's Iron Dome, the programme has come under political scrutiny and faces funding challenges due to its high projected costs. While it is slated to become operational by January 2029, experts have raised doubts about the feasibility of both the timeline and the budget. With inputs from agencies

Iran Says Not Seeking Nuclear Weapons But Will Assert 'Legitimate Rights'
Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tuesday that his country was not seeking nuclear weapons but would continue to defend its "legitimate rights" in the peaceful use of nuclear energy. As a fragile ceasefire with Israel took hold after 12 days of fighting that also included US strikes, Pezeshkian told his counterpart from the United Arab Emirates that the two countries "cannot impose unjust aspirations by force". "We expect you to explain to them, in your dealings with the United States, that the Islamic Republic of Iran is only seeking to assert its legitimate rights," Pezeshkian said during a call with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed. "It has never sought to acquire nuclear weapons and does not seek them," he was quoted as saying by the official IRNA news agency, adding that Iran was "ready to resolve the issues... at the negotiating table". The war between the longtime regional foes saw Israel strike Iranian nuclear facilities and killed nuclear scientists and the country's top military brass. On Sunday, Israel's ally the United States launched unprecedented strikes of its own on Iranian nuclear facilities at Fordo, Isfahan and Natanz. The fighting broke out two days before Tehran and Washington were set to hold a new round of talks over Iran's nuclear programme. The two sides were at sharp odds over Iran's uranium enrichment, which Tehran considers a "non-negotiable" right and which Washington has called a "red line".
