The fragile ceasefire between Iran and Israel is appearing to hold for now, hours after Donald Trump said the two countries "don’t know what the f*** they’re doing."
He also said that both are guilty of breaking the early hours of the ceasefire which he announced on social media on Monday.
Speaking to media outside the White House before flying to a Nato summit in the Netherlands, Trump said Iran "violated it, but Israel violated it too".
He added: "I’m not happy with Israel. I’m not happy with Iran, either.”
Trump continued: "I’m really unhappy if Israel is going out this morning because of one rocket that didn’t land, that was shot perhaps by mistake."
Shortly after speaking to the media, he posted on Truth Social: "Israel is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!"
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office confirmed this, saying he held off on a tougher strike against Iran after speaking to Trump.
Netanyahu’s office, however, said Israel had struck an Iranian radar in response to their earlier missile attack.
Israel had accused Iran of “completely violating” a ceasefire agreement between the two countries by launching missiles after the deal came into effect.
Just over two hours after the pause in fighting came into force, Israel said it had identified missiles launched from Iran into its airspace, with explosions booming and sirens sounding across the north of the country.
Iran has denied firing a missile at Israel after the ceasefire began, according to its state media.
The Israeli embassy in the UK, however, has posted a picture of what it claims to be the missile which was fired after the ceasefire began.
In an address on Israeli television on Monday evening, Mr Netanyahu said Israel had brought Iran’s nuclear capability to "ruin."
“For dozens of years, I promised you that Iran would not have nuclear weapons and indeed … we brought to ruin Iran’s nuclear programme,” he said.
