U.S. President Donald Trump gave a strong warning to both Israel and Iran, accusing them of violating the ceasefire that he had announced earlier.

According to the Associated Press, Trump on Tuesday expressed frustration with Israel for retaliating against Iran and called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging him to stop the attacks.

"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."

Trump also emphasized that he does not want to see "regime change" in Iran, which he said would lead to chaos.

"No, I don't want to. I'd like to see everything calm down as quickly as possible. Regime change takes chaos and ideally, we don't want to see so much chaos."

This comes as tensions flared again just hours after the ceasefire between Israel and Iran took effect on Tuesday.

Israel accused Iran of violating the ceasefire with missile launches, while Iran denied the claims.

The ceasefire appears to be holding for now though after Trump's outburst at the both sides.

Israel and Iran both claimed victory in their recent conflict.

Israel said it had removed two major threats --Iran's nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles.

"Dear citizens of Israel, during the 12 days of the operation Rising Lion, we achieved a historic victory, and this victory will stand for generations."

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said on social media that Israel will respect the ceasefire --as long as the other side does.

The military chief of staff Eyal Zamir said that Israel's military is shifting its focus back to Gaza.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran would only hit Israel if it violates the ceasefire deal.

He also expressed his country's readiness to resolve disputes with the U.S. within an international framework.

All eyes are on the coming hours to see whether the ceasefire between Israel and Iran will hold.
