The President’s frustration comes in the wake of renewed military activity, including reports of an Israeli airstrike within Iranian territory and Iran allegedly launching drone reconnaissance missions near Israeli borders. These developments occurred less than 24 hours after Trump had declared the ceasefire “a historic step toward peace” and praised both sides for what he called their “willingness to pull back from the brink.”
Trump, who has been actively involved in shuttle diplomacy behind the scenes, now finds his peacemaking efforts on shaky ground. Speaking to reporters, he expressed deep disappointment: “Both leaders gave me their word. I told them — this is your chance to stop the bloodshed. And now, I’m watching both sides test the limits within hours. It’s unacceptable.”
International reaction to the escalating tension has been swift. The United Nations has called for an emergency session to address the breakdown in ceasefire compliance, while European leaders have urged Israel and Iran to “honor their commitments and avoid dragging the region into deeper chaos.”
