Former U.S. President’s Self-Proclaimed Peace Deal Unravels Within Hours, Followed by an Explicit Outburst
In a dramatic sequence of events, former U.S. President Donald Trump attempted to insert himself into the escalating Iran-Israel conflict, announcing what he described as a mutually agreed 12-hour ceasefire. The declaration came amid a flurry of missile attacks, drone strikes, and diplomatic panic following Israel’s Operation Rising Lion and Iran’s retaliatory salvos. But just hours into the so-called truce, reports of fresh violations surfaced—and Trump responded not with statesmanship, but with a public profanity-laced outburst.
As the ceasefire dissolved faster than it was declared, many are left wondering: was Trump’s “deal” a genuine diplomatic intervention—or a moment of performative posturing gone wrong?
Ceasefire By Press Release: From Bold Claims to Blame Games
It all began with a symbolic Iranian missile strike on U.S. military bases in Qatar and Iraq, reportedly preceded by advance warnings to avoid casualties. This strategic restraint was interpreted by some as an opening for de-escalation. Seizing the moment, Trump swiftly took to social media, announcing a ceasefire allegedly agreed upon by both Iran and Israel.
Iran, however, initially denied any formal agreement existed—only to later clarify that it would comply if Israel ceased strikes by 4:00 AM Tehran time. Israel continued operations up to the minute, with reports suggesting they halted just before the deadline.
Trump declared victory anyway, branding it a diplomatic success and urging both sides not to “violate” the fragile peace. But the situation quickly unraveled. Within hours, Israel claimed that Iran had breached the ceasefire, while Tehran accused Israel of carrying out airstrikes well past the agreed deadline.
Trump’s Response: Frustration, Finger-Pointing, and F-Bombs
As ceasefire violations dominated headlines, Trump—clearly irked—delivered an unscripted and unusually frank statement:
“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f*** they’re doing.”

The remark, while blunt, underscored the chaos that followed his ceasefire announcement. Sources indicate that Trump personally called Prime Minister Netanyahu, urging restraint. Netanyahu reportedly agreed in part but continued targeted operations, including a symbolic airstrike near Tehran—hardly a gesture of peace.
Meanwhile, Iran maintained that it had shown restraint and blamed Israel for escalating the situation. Both sides, it seems, were ready to claim victory while simultaneously accusing the other of betrayal.
What began as a surprise intervention by Trump quickly turned into an international exercise in diplomatic miscommunication, with the former president caught between his desire to control the narrative and the hard reality of regional geopolitics.
