Trump Warns Israel Publicly: 'DON'T DROP THAT BOMB!'
WASHINGTON – In a highly unusual move, U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday issued a strong and direct public warning to Israel, ordering the ally to halt plans for an airstrike against Iran.
"ISRAEL. DON'T DROP THAT BOMB. IF YOU DO, IT'S A BIG VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOT BACK, NOW!" Trump wrote in capital letters on his social media platform, Truth Social.
This dramatic warning comes after a ceasefire recently announced by Trump is on the verge of collapse. Israel accused Iran of violating the agreement by launching missiles, and in response, the Israeli Defense Minister has ordered "intense" strikes at the heart of Tehran.
Trump's action of publicly reprimanding his closest ally in the eyes of the world shows how determined he is to prevent further escalation of the war. A direct order from a U.S. President to Israel to cancel a strike mission is an extremely rare event and highlights how fragile the situation in the Middle East is right now.$BTC
