U.S. President Donald Trump has said ,Israel will not press ahead with missile strikes against Iran.
Trump assured the world ahead of boarding Marine One to depart to attend the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands, from the South Lawn at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., June 24, 2025.
U.S. President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social media account.
“All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran. Nobody will be hurt, the Ceasefire is in effect!” he said.
Israel has yet to publicly comment on whether it will not be proceeding with an offensive against Iran. CNBC could not independently verify developments on the ground.
Earlier, Israel’s defense minister had directed the country’s military to “respond forcefully” to alleged Iranian ceasefire breaches, which Tehran refutes. Heading to the NATO summit in the Netherlands, Trump, who brokered the fragile armistice, said he was “not happy” with both Israel and Iran.
Trump — who slammed both Israel and Iran amid claims of truce breaches — spoke with Netanyahu and “expressed his confidence in the stability of the ceasefire.”
Israel and Iran have each accused the other of violating the U.S.-brokered armistice within hours of its implementation.
“THE CEASEFIRE IS NOW IN EFFECT. PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!” Trump said in a post on Truth Social around 1:00 a.m. stateside.
The ceasefire announcement came after Iran carried out retaliatory missile strikes at the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
Within hours of the declaration, Israel accused Iran of violating the ceasefire with further missile strikes — which Tehran denied, according to Iranian media.
Trump said he was “not happy” with both Tehran and Israel, urging the Jewish state not to go ahead with a retaliatory missile strike against Iran.
