Hello and welcome to NewsHour. It's coming to you live from the BBC World Service

Studios in London. I'm Tim Franks. And just like that, Donald Trump declared that it was over,

that the brief war involving Iran, Israel and the US was at an end. And then shortly before we came on air,

declared in even more forthright terms that Iran and Israel don't know what the expletive they're doing.

We'll bring you some of Mr. Trump's more broadcastable words in a moment. But first,

to get you up to the very fast pace of recent events,

exactly 15 hours ago, six in the evening, Washington time it was, the president in his

convention-busting way made the announcement on social media with words,

congratulations to everyone, which is perhaps a strange way to address, among others, the country which he just

sent his military to bomb any two days before, and which had fired a missile at an American

base in the Gulf just as previously. Anyway, Mr. Trump went on to say that Israel and Iran

had agreed what he called a complete and total ceasefire. But then Israel accused Iran of violating that

ceasefire, saying that it had to shoot down incoming Iranian missiles today and was therefore

going to hit back hard. On route to the summit of the NATO military alliance, President Trump

gave vent to his frustrations.

Israel, as soon as we made the deal, they came out and they dropped a load of bombs,

the likes of which I've never seen before. The biggest load that we've seen, I'm not happy with Israel.

You know, when I say, okay, now you have 12 hours, you don't go out in the first hour

and just drop everything you have on them.

So I'm not happy with them.

I'm not happy with Iran either.

But I'm really unhappy if Israel's going out this morning
