WATCH: Donald Trump drops f-bomb during interview
U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his anger over the Israel-Iran conflict in the most direct way possible.
President Trump didn't hold back on Tuesday after a ceasefire between Israel and Iran was seemingly violated just hours after it was announced.
Trump voiced his frustration with both nations, but particularly pointed the finger at Israel for escalating tensions immediately after the truce was made public.
Speaking to reporters before boarding his helicopter, the President said, "I'm not happy with Israel."
"I'm not happy with Iran either," he added.
According to Trump, Israel wasted no time unleashing a heavy round of airstrikes on Iran, despite the agreement to halt hostilities.

"As soon as we made the deal, they came out and dropped a load of bombs - the biggest I've ever seen," he said.
What truly shocked many was when the U.S. President dropped the f-bomb during the interview.
"We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f--k they're doing - do you understand?"
The comments came as Trump was reportedly on his way to a NATO summit.

Iran-Israel Ceasefire Holds
According to AFP, the U.S.-proposed ceasefire between Israel and Iran appeared to be holding early Wednesday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hailed a "historic victory" in the 12-day conflict.
In a national address, Netanyahu vowed to thwart "any attempt" by Iran to rebuild its nuclear programme, which armed forces chief Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir said Israeli strikes had set back "by years."
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian praised his nation's "heroic resistance" in a message carried by the official IRNA news agency.

Pezeshkian said Iran would respect the ceasefire as long as Israel upheld its terms, adding that Tehran would continue to "assert its legitimate rights" to the peaceful use of atomic power, but was "ready to resolve the issues... at the negotiating table."
Israel "refrained" from further strikes on Iran on Tuesday after a call between Trump and Netanyahu, the Prime Minister’s office said, though it did destroy a radar installation.
Trump had accused both Iran and Israel of violating the ceasefire he announced late Monday, but hours later, he posted that it was in effect.
"Following President Trump's conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Israel refrained from further strikes," a statement said.
Iran's state media reported on Tuesday that a wave of missiles was headed toward Israel around the time the ceasefire was expected to take effect.
Israeli emergency services later confirmed that four people were killed in a missile strike in the southern city of Beersheba.
At least 50 impacts have been reported across Israel since the war began, and 28 people have been killed, according to official figures.
Israeli strikes on Iran have killed at least 610 civilians, Iran's health ministry said on Tuesday.
