"President Trump was especially angry this morning because the ceasefire agreement he mediated between Israel and Iran seemed to be getting more fragile."

According to CNN, President Trump on the 24th of local time harshly accused both Israel and Iran of violating the ceasefire agreement, and criticized Israel severely, even cursing in front of the cameras.

That day, before heading to The Hague, Netherlands, for the NATO summit, Trump told journalists in front of the cameras, "These two countries we are dealing with have been fighting so long and so fiercely that they completely forgot what the f**k they were doing!"

Although criticizing Israel and Iran for violating his previously announced ceasefire agreement, Trump still said he did not think the ceasefire had completely collapsed.

Trump specifically expressed dissatisfaction with Israel's "quick violation" of the agreement, "After we just reached an agreement, Israel immediately launched a bunch of bombs, I've never seen such a large scale," he said.

"I'm not satisfied with Israel. You know, when I say, 'you now have 12 hours of ceasefire,' you can't throw all your guys out in the first hour. So I'm not satisfied with them. I'm not satisfied with Iran either," Trump said.

In a subsequent post on the "Truth Social" platform, Trump continued to warn, "Israel, don't drop those bombs. If you do that, it will be a serious violation (of the ceasefire). Bring your pilots back home immediately!"

About 40 minutes later, Trump posted again, saying that Israel would not attack Iran, all planes would return, and they would "friendly wave" to Iran, "no one will be hurt, the ceasefire agreement has already taken effect!"

On the evening of the 23rd, Trump released the Israel-Iran ceasefire plan, which would officially take effect in about six hours and be implemented in stages: Iran would start the ceasefire first, then at the 12th hour, Israel would also start the ceasefire, and by the 24th hour, the "12-day war" would officially end.

During the few hours from the announcement of the ceasefire plan to its implementation, the conflict between Israel and Iran did not cease. The Israeli army claimed to have struck and destroyed missile launch facilities in western Iran, while Iran fired six waves of missiles towards Israel.

On the 24th, after Trump announced the ceasefire took effect, the Israeli army claimed that Iran had fired missiles towards Israel, and the Israeli defense minister Katz instructed the Israeli military to make a strong response to Iran's "violation of the ceasefire," heavily striking targets in the center of Tehran, Iran's capital.

In response to the Israeli accusations, the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff denied that Iran had fired missiles towards Israel after the ceasefire took effect.

According to The Times of Israel, that day, Trump called Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, and both agreed that Israel would strike a "symbolic" target in response to Iran's "violation of the ceasefire."

Israeli officials claimed that after Iran fired two ballistic missiles towards Israel, the Israeli Air Force attacked a radar station located in northern Tehran.

The Axios news website cited Israeli officials' statements reporting that Netanyahu told Trump that Israel could not take no retaliatory measures and had to respond. In the end, the Israeli side decided to significantly reduce the scale of the attack, only attacking one radar system in Iran.
