US President Donald Trump ordered Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “turn the planes around” yesterday when they were on their way to strike back after Iran broke the incipient ceasefire, Channel 13 reports.
There seemed to be a misunderstanding over a major strike Israel carried out earlier that night, after the ceasefire was announced but before it went into effect.
“You dropped your entire arsenal on them,” said Trump.
“That’s not true, we did not attack since the ceasefire went into effect,” responded Netanyahu. “That was beforehand.”
“Tell the planes to turn around,” Trump ordered. “I don’t care, blame me. It wasn’t intentional, it didn’t land and didn’t cause damage,” he continued, referring to two ballistic missiles Iran fired after the start of the ceasefire.
