Trump announced at midnight that Israel and Iran had agreed to a "complete and total ceasefire" ending the 12-day war, but the agreement unraveled within hours. Iran launched missiles at Israel shortly after the announcement, killing at least five people, while Israel prepared retaliatory strikes on Tehran.
By mid-morning, Trump erupted in profanity-laden criticism of both sides, saying they "don't know what the f*** they're doing." He intervened by phone with Netanyahu to prevent Israeli retaliation, briefly restoring the ceasefire before it collapsed again with fresh Iranian missile attacks.
Intelligence assessments contradicted Trump's earlier claims about destroying Iran's nuclear program, indicating the strikes only set back Iranian capabilities by months rather than obliterating them. Iran claimed its nuclear facilities were already back online.
The Supreme Court separately ruled to allow Trump's deportation of immigrants to third countries, while ICE arrested 11 Iranian nationals amid fears of sleeper cells. Over 100 Democrats joined Republicans to block their own party's Trump impeachment effort.
