U.S. President Donald Trump has taken decisive steps to enforce a ceasefire in the Iran-Israel conflict. Despite announcing a ceasefire late Monday night, neither Iran nor Israel initially complied. According to international media, on Tuesday morning, Iran launched missiles at Israel at least twice, while Israel continued airstrikes in and around Tehran. This led to Trump expressing significant frustration, particularly toward Israel, as their violations of the ceasefire were more pronounced. However, through stringent measures, Trump succeeded in compelling Israel to adhere to the ceasefire terms. According to a report by CNN, Trump took the following actions to achieve this:
- Harsh Criticism of Iran and Israel: Before departing for a NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands, Trump spoke to reporters aboard Air Force One. He expressed his anger, stating, “We have two countries that have been fighting so hard and so long, and they don’t know what the ‘f…’ they are doing.” His strong language underscored his frustration with both nations’ actions.
- Reprimanding Netanyahu: Upon learning that Israel continued airstrikes despite the ceasefire announcement, Trump called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reprimand him. He later told reporters, “I’m not happy with Israel. I gave them 12 hours to stop the conflict and recall their warplanes after the ceasefire announcement, but they didn’t listen.”
- Stern Messages on Truth Social: Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, addressing Israel: “Israel, stop dropping bombs immediately. If you don’t, it will be a serious violation of the ceasefire. Recall your pilots now.” Shortly after, he posted another message stating that Israel would no longer attack Iran.
- Striking Iran’s Nuclear Program: Trump revealed that the U.S. military operation ‘Midnight Hammer’ dealt a severe blow to Iran’s nuclear program. He claimed that the damage was so extensive that Iran would never be able to revive its nuclear ambitions. He stated, “The B-2 pilots executed their duties flawlessly. No one could have imagined such precision.”
Through these measures, Trump successfully pressured Israel to comply with the ceasefire, playing a pivotal role in de-escalating tensions in the Middle East. However, violations by both sides highlight the ongoing complexity of the situation.
