US President Donald Trump has chided Iran and Israel for violating the ceasefire agreement following their 12-day war, saying, “We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f**k they’re doing,” Reuters reports.

He told Israel to calm down after he said both Israel and Iran violated a ceasefire he tried to broker.

“I gotta get Israel to calm down now,” Trump said as he left the White House.

“Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs, the likes of which I’ve never seen before, the biggest load that we’ve seen.”
