‘They don't know what the f**k they're doing!' rages Trump as he blasts Iran AND Israel for breaking hour-old ceasefire
DONALD Trump has slammed both Israel and Iran blasting they "don't know what the f*** they're doing".
Trump's stunning profanity in front of cameras comes after a ceasefire between the two Middle Eastern countries appeared to break down.

The President appeared visibly angry speaking to journalists as he left the White House to Joint Base Andrews this morning.
Israel is now preparing to strike Tehran after a new wave of ballistic missiles were launched at Israel.
The rockets arrived just four hours into a pause in fighting following 12 days of missile salvos and World War 3 brinkmanship.
The two ballistic missiles were intercepted around 9am UK time - but it sparked what appeared to be a rapid deterioration of the ceasefire.
The IDF is set to launch 'intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran', Israel's defence minister Israel Katz has said.
Trump has now blasted both Iran and Israel for violating the ceasefire saying that he was "unhappy" with both.
But he also took aim at Israel, saying it needed to "calm down".
He also sent a stinging message to Israel in a post on social media saying: "Do not drop those bombs. If you do it is a major violation.
"Bring your pilots home now."
In a case of mixed messaging, Iran has denied twice that they fired the missiles but also claimed that Israel broke the ceasefire first and the salvo was in response to that.
Israeli politicians have so far viewed the salvo as a clear breach of the ceasefire, with Katz saying Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also coordinated the impending strikes.
Trump announced the ceasefire on social media early on Tuesday morning saying: "THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!"
Netanyahu declared victory and hailed Operation Rising Lion as a success having gutted the Ayatollah's ballistic missile and nuclear program.
He said in a statement: 'The IDF achieved full air control over Tehran's skies, inflicted severe damage on the military leadership, and destroyed dozens of central Iranian government targets."
The first part of the deal kicked into effect at 5am UK time and involved Iran first stopping its missile attacks.
Israel then had an extra 12 hours to continue attacking Iran, with its strikes having to stop at 5pm UK time and the full ceasefire taking effect.
The agreement came after the Ayatollah fired a last second salvo of missiles just before the deadline at 5am UK time.
Tragically four civilians were killed in the heartless strike on apartment buildings in the city of Beersheba.
Trump made the announcement just hours after Iran dramatically attacked a US military base in Qatar.
He wrote on Truth Social: "It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a "Complete and Total CEASEFIRE."
Don dubbed the conflict "THE 12 DAY WAR" and said it could have "gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn't, and never will!"
The ceasefire came after Trump dismissed the Iranian missile strike targeting the Al Udaid US air base on Monday night as "very weak".
All the Iranian missiles were shot down, and no casualties were reported.

Pro-Palestine activists storm Glasgow building & hold ‘sit-in'
Demonstrators say they took action after bosses refused to boycott Israel Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRO-Palestine activists stormed an arts hub after vandals defaced Glasgow University's iconic building with red paint. More than 200 protesters mobbed the Centre for Contemporary Arts with around 20 getting inside after bosses locked the doors in a bid to stop them creating a 'liberation zone'. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Protesters took action due to centre chiefs' refusals to back a boycott of Israel Credit: artworkersforpalestinescotland 4 Around 20 activists mounted a peaceful 'sit-in' after gaining access to the CCA in Glasgow city centre Credit: artworkersforpalestinescotland 4 Dozens more chanted as they stood outside the locked centre Credit: artworkersforpalestinescotland 4 Demonstrators held study groups outside after being blocked from entering the CCA Credit: artworkersforpalestinescotland A woman, 63, was arrested after allegations a police officer was punched. Hours earlier anti-Israel graffiti was scrawled and paint hurled over the historic uni a mile away. One demonstrator told The Scottish Sun: 'One of the organisers managed went inside but was forcibly removed by security guards. 'The doors were locked. 'I think a delivery guy opened them and 20 more got inside. 'Police moved in and told them nobody was leaving until they provided their personal details. 'Outside a woman was dragged by three officers and put in the back of a van. 'There was a big line of police cars down the street and drivers were tooting their horns.' Art Workers For Palestine Scotland urged supporters to descend on the city centre culture hub after it was stopped from carrying out a five-day 'spontaneous programme takeover'. The group claimed activists were 'kettled' by police after they skirted security to gain entry to a foyer as an "act of reclaiming". Five Glasgow University students have been on hunger strike for a week as they warn 'we will not stop' Organisers wanted to create a "liberated zone of resistance, learning and artistic solidarity with Palestine". Dozens more blocked the entrance as crowds grew restless outside. Some yelled at cops, chanting "pigs aren't workers — get a real job" and "who do you protect, who do you serve?". A woman was seen being pulled by the arms by cops to a waiting marked van as a protester with a megaphone chased behind shouting: 'Shame on you, Police Scotland.' It is believed the arts centre was targeted because its board refused to back a boycott of Israel and have supported streaming service MUBI which has links to a defence technology company from the country. At least eight police cars and vans were sent to the scene, with around six people wearing orange hi-vis vests with 'observer' on them watching on as a small group printed canvas banners using paint and rollers on the pavement. Signs with 'Free Palestine', 'Hypocrites Stink' and 'Are you guys not embarrassed' were stuck to the outside of the windows during the demonstration which began around noon yesterday. Art Workers For Palestine Scotland claimed centre chiefs are "complicit in genocide" by refusing to boycott Israel and MUBI in an online statement. It said: "CCA will never stop the work of liberation. "They are letting Israel in and shutting Palestine out." Other anti-Israel slogans and red triangles were daubed over Glasgow Uni's 19th-century Gilbert Scott building after it was attacked the previous night. Activists are believed to have vandalised the country's second oldest learning centre over funding for arms firms supplying Israel. A spokesman said: 'The University of Glasgow upholds the right to freedom of expression, including the right of staff and students to engage in peaceful demonstrations. 'However, we do not tolerate criminal activities or those which interfere with the rights of others to go about their business in peace.' Police Scotland confirmed it had received a report of vandalism at the uni and lifted one person at the arts centre demo. A spokesman said: 'We received a report of a disturbance involving a large group on Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. 'Officers attended and engaged with those present. 'The group later dispersed. 'A 63-year-old woman has been arrested and charged in connection, and is expected to appear at court at a later date.' The CCA has been approached for comment.

Exclusive: US to give $30 million to Gaza aid operation despite violence concerns
WASHINGTON, June 24 (Reuters) - The United States is giving $30 million to a controversial humanitarian group delivering aid in war-torn Gaza despite concern among some U.S. officials about the month-old operation and the killing of Palestinians near food distribution sites, according to four sources and a document seen by Reuters. Washington has long backed the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation diplomatically, but this is the first known U.S. government financial contribution to the organization, which uses private U.S. military and logistics firms to transport aid into the Palestinian enclave for distribution at so-called secure sites. A document reviewed by Reuters showed that the $30 million U.S. Agency for International Development grant to GHF was authorized on Friday under a "priority directive" from the White House and State Department. The document showed an initial $7 million disbursement had been made. The United States could approve additional monthly grants of $30 million for the GHF, said two of the sources, all of whom spoke on condition of anonymity. The White House referred questions about the matter to the State Department. The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation declined to comment on the U.S. funding or the concerns of some U.S. officials about the operation. Israel's embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the $30 million U.S. grant. In approving the U.S. funding for the GHF, the sources said the State Department exempted the foundation, which has not publicly disclosed its finances, from an audit usually required for groups receiving USAID grants for the first time. Such an audit "would normally take many, many weeks if not months," said one source, who is a former senior U.S. official. The GHF also was exempted from additional vetting required for groups supplying aid to Gaza - ruled by Iran-backed Hamas militants - to ensure that there are no links to extremism, the sources said. The GHF is working in Gaza with a for-profit logistics firm, Safe Reach Solutions, headed by a former CIA officer, and its security contractor, UG Solutions, which employs armed U.S. military veterans. Reuters reported this month that U.S. ally Israel had asked President Donald Trump's administration to give $500 million to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Sources said the money would come from the U.S. Agency for International Development, which is being folded into the State Department. Some U.S. officials opposed giving any U.S. funds to the foundation over concerns about violence near aid distribution sites, the GHF's inexperience and the involvement of the for-profit U.S. logistics and private military firms, said the four sources. Since Israel lifted an 11-week aid blockade on Gaza on May 19, allowing limited U.N. deliveries to resume, the United Nations says more than 400 Palestinians have been killed seeking aid from both the U.N. and GHF operations. "The majority of the casualties have been shot or shelled trying to reach U.S.-Israeli distribution sites purposefully set up in militarized zones," said senior U.N. aid official for the occupied Palestinian territories, Jonathan Whittall, on Sunday. "Others have been killed when Israeli forces have fired on Palestinian crowds waiting for food along routes," he said. "Some people have also been killed or injured by armed gangs." In response, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation said on Tuesday that it had so far delivered 40 million meals in Gaza but that the U.N. and other groups were having difficulty distributing aid due to looting of their trucks and warehouses. A GHF spokesperson said none of the group's trucks had been looted. "Bottom-line, our aid is getting securely delivered. Instead of bickering and throwing insults from the sidelines, we would welcome the U.N. and other humanitarian groups to join us and feed the people in Gaza. We are ready to collaborate and help them get their aid to people in need," a GHF spokesperson said. Earlier this month it halted aid deliveries for a day as it pressed Israel to boost civilian safety near its distribution sites after dozens of Palestinians seeking aid were killed. It says there have been no incidents at its sites. The U.N. has long described its aid operation in Gaza as opportunistic - hindered by Israel's military operation, access restrictions by Israel into and throughout Gaza, and looting by armed gangs. The U.N. has stressed that when people know there is a steady flow of aid, the looting subsides.
