Donald Trump described the Iran ceasefire as “shooting in a more moderate manner,” after being asked if the ceasefire with Iran was still on.
“We’ve been hitting them pretty hard, a little bit, so there is a reason for certain things, and there’s usually a reason that sometimes makes sense,” Trump said.
“It’s a different part of the world, you know. I’d say in that part ceasefire is when you’re shooting in a more moderate manner.”
It comes after Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi defended the country’s attack on Kuwait and Bahrain as “self-defence strikes”.
Araghchi wrote on X that Iranian forces targeted sites that US forces “use to attack civilian shipping and violate the ceasefire”.
“What sanctions and war failed to achieve won’t be won with more war,” he said.
One person was killed and 63 injured in an Iranian attack on Kuwait International Airport.
Kuwait’s defence ministry said that it had engaged 13 missiles and 17 drones from Iran in the strikes. Bahrain also reported intercepting missiles in the onslaught.
