WASHINGTON – History is full of muttered presidential curses, closed-door profanity and hot-mic slip-ups. The expletive President Donald Trump unleashed Tuesday on the South Lawn stands apart. Days after dropping bunker-busters on Iran’s key nuclear sites, he dropped an f-bomb on Iran and Israel for violating a ceasefire he’d brokered.

Trump spent three days issuing a barrage of public assurances, calmly delivered threats, contradictory signals and eventually a curse-filled damnation of Israeli and Iranian leaders.

President Trump says U.S. officials will be talking with their Iranian counterparts next week in the wake of the U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, but questions remain about the extent of the damage to Iran's nuclear program.
