A shaky truce between Israel and Iran, brokered by Donald Trump, was violated by both sides. Trump rebuked Israel for the scale of its retaliatory airstrikes, even personally intervening to scale them down after a phone call with Netanyahu. Despite Trump's intervention and claims of a ceasefire, explosions were reported in Iran. The truce's future remains uncertain, with conflicting accounts from both sides regarding missile launches and casualties. Trump's actions have drawn both praise and criticism, with some hailing his intervention as a diplomatic success while others criticize his unilateral actions and lack of congressional consultation.
