Writing on his Truth Social platform, US President Donald Trump insists that “ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran.”
Israeli officials, including Defense Minister Israel Katz, said that Israel would respond in force to a ballistic missile Iran launched this morning after a ceasefire went into effect, a development that infuriated Trump.
“All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran,” Trump writes. “Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
