“Do not drop those bombs”: Trump warns Israel against striking Iran again
Washington, D.C.: US President Donald Trump has issued a blunt warning to Israel not to launch fresh airstrikes on Iran, after Israel’s defence ministry announced plans for “intense strikes” in response to what it called an Iranian ceasefire breach.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote: “ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!”
The statement comes amid renewed volatility in the region, as both Israel and Iran have accused each other of violating the temporary ceasefire deal.
Trump criticised Israel’s rapid retaliation after the ceasefire, suggesting the country has lost strategic clarity after years of conflict. “They’ve been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing,” he said.
In an interaction with reporters, the US president also stated: “I didn’t like that Israel ‘unloaded’ immediately after agreeing to a ceasefire.” He added that “both sides” were responsible for ceasefire violations.
Despite the rising tensions, Trump reaffirmed his position that Iran would not be allowed to rebuild its nuclear programme. However, when asked directly whether the ceasefire had been broken, he responded ambiguously: “I don’t think so.”
Trump’s remarks mark a rare and direct criticism of Israel by a US president.
