WASHINGTON — A ceasefire between Iran and Israel looked fragile hours after it took effect, as Israel’s government accused Tehran of violating the deal and U.S. President Donald Trump blamed both sides.

Before departing for a NATO summit in The Hague, Trump on Tuesday told reporters that he was not happy with Iran but was “really unhappy” with Israel, which had vowed to retaliate for an apparent post-ceasefire Iranian missile launch. “ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Later, he posted that Israel had agreed to stand down.
