Trump Says Both Israel and Iran Violated Ceasefire
U.S. President Donald Trump has accused both Israel and Iran of breaching the terms of a recent ceasefire agreement, a statement that adds fresh controversy to an already volatile Middle East conflict.
Speaking at a campaign rally in Florida on Saturday night, Trump said, “The ceasefire was a sham. Both Israel and Iran broke it — they never had any intention of keeping it.” While he did not provide evidence to back the claim, his remarks sparked swift reactions from political analysts and international observers.
Trump’s comments come at a time when tensions between Israel and Iran are at a boiling point. The most recent ceasefire, brokered with international support, aimed to halt hostilities after weeks of escalating cross-border attacks and airstrikes.
Both nations have publicly blamed each other for violations. Iran accused Israel of launching covert operations despite the truce, while Israel claimed Iran-backed militias fired rockets into its territory shortly after the ceasefire began.
The United Nations and several European countries have urged both sides to uphold the ceasefire terms. Trump’s remarks, however, complicate the diplomatic narrative, suggesting a mutual failure to commit to peace.
