The US President's received praise for his involvement in a fragile ceasefire between Iran and Israel.
Both sides are claiming the other has breached the truce.
Donald Trump scolded both for early violations but directed particularly stinging criticism at Israel over the scale of its strikes.

He says if the nuclear programmes only been kicked into low gear, the next president will have a difficult decision to make.
