Trump says Iran-Israel truce holds after berating both countries
US President
Donald Trump
said Tuesday that a ceasefire between Iran and
Israel
was holding, shortly after he lashed out at both countries and cursed as he accused them of violating the truce.
In a fast-moving series of declarations, the 79-year-old Republican, who was on his way to attend a NATO summit in The Hague, posted on his Truth Social app that "the Ceasefire is in effect!"
"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," Trump wrote.

Minutes earlier, he had castigated Iran and also close US ally Israel for violating a ceasefire he had originally announced late Monday.
The two countries have been "fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing, do you understand that?" the president told reporters at the White House.

Iran violated the ceasefire, "but Israel violated it too," Trump told reporters on the White House's South Lawn as he departed for the NATO summit.
"So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with Iran either. But I'm really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning."
"I've got to get Israel to calm down," he said. "Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and dropped a load of bombs the likes of which I've never seen before."
Trump's unusually public display of anger at Israel saw the US leader apparently trying to cajole his ally to call off warplanes in real time.
Earlier the same morning, he had posted on Truth Social: "ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS" -- without it being clear which bombs he was referring to.
"IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!"

Iran's nuclear facilities 'intact' after US attack? White House says 'top secret assessment' 'flat out wrong'
Iran's Fordow nuclear site after US attack. The core components of Ira's nuclear program are intact, and they can be set back by months, a top secret assessment of the US intelligence revealed, CNN reported. The report said the assessment was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, based on the battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command. CNN quoted two people familiar with the assessment who said Iran's stockpile of uranium was not destroyed. One said they were "largely intact". The White House reacted to the CNN report and said there was a "top secret" assessment which was classified but was leaked to CNN by "an anonymous, low-level loser in the intelligence community". White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the assessment has been rejected by the administration as "flat-out wrong". "The leaking of this alleged assessment is a clear attempt to demean President Trump, and discredit the brave fighter pilots who conducted a perfectly executed mission to obliterate Iran's nuclear program. Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration," Leavitt said to CNN in her statement. Earlier, Donald Trump named CNN and slammed them for questioning the ability of the B-2 bomber pilots who flew for 18 hours, entered Iran and dropped the bunker-busters, and drove home back for another 18 hours -- without being attacked. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villa For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search ads Learn More Undo Where is Iran's uranium stockpile? Vice President JD Vance's statement hinted that the stockpile remains with Iran. On Fox News, the vice president said the location of the uranium is not the question before the US now but the question is whether Iran can make nuclear weapons from what they have. The Iranian stockpile of uranium was believed to have been located mainly at Isfahan, which houses a conversion facility that turns uranium into the form that can be fed into centrifuges for enrichment. 'The goal was to bury the uranium, and I do think the uranium is buried,' Vance said. Vance dismissed the possibility that Iran moved the stockpile before the attack and said the Midnight Hammer mission was successful.
