U.S. President Donald Trump warned “Israel” on Tuesday not to drop any more bombs on Iran, or it would be a violation of the ceasefire he is trying to broker between the two countries.
“Israel. Do not drop those bombs. If you do it, it is a major violation. Bring your pilots home, now!” Trump wrote in a post on his social media site shortly after he left the White House for a trip to the NATO summit in The Hague.
Earlier on Tuesday, U.S. President Donald Trump said a ceasefire between “Israel” and Iran was now in place and asked both sides not to violate it, raising hopes of an end to the 12-day war even as deadly attacks were reported from both sides.
Writing on Truth Social earlier, Trump declared: “THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!”
His declaration came after a sharp escalation of the conflict since Sunday, when the United States bombed Iranian nuclear sites, prompting Iran to retaliate by firing missiles at a U.S. base in Qatar on Monday.
