United States President Donald Trump gave an extremely rare explicit rant when talking about the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.
In the clip, which was uploaded earlier this afternoon (24 June), Trump was seen leaving for the NATO summit when he hit out at the two nations for allegedly violating a ceasefire, claiming they 'don't know' what they're doing.
"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," the 79-year-old Republican said.
Finishing his response, Trump told the group of reporters: "Do you understand that?"

The clip was posted by Rachel Scott, the Senior Political Correspondent who covers the White House and Congress for ABC.
People have since rushed to the comments to share their reactions to Trump's remarks with one X user writing: "Oh he's unraveling."
"Sounds like a weak response," quipped a second, while a third chimed in: "Far too emotional to be a leader."
Another jabbed: "Speaking of not knowing what the f**k they are doing…"
And a final X user echoed: "He's our biggest embarrassment."
Trump's most recent comments come shortly after he took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to issue a warning to Israel after announcing a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
The warning reads: "ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION.
"BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES."
The unexpected update came during the early hours of this morning (24 June) - just days after Trump 'totally obliterated' three nuclear sites (Natanz, Isfahan and Fordo) in Iran. The week prior, the country was subjected to a missile attack from Israel, sparking the two to become locked in a back-and-forth strike exchange.
Trump dubbed Iran's response attack on a US base in Qatar last night (23 June) 'very weak' and thanked Iranian officials for giving the Americans 'early notice' of their attack.
He also spoke to press earlier this morning after Israel accused Iran of firing a rocket in their direction earlier today after the pair agreed to a ceasefire in the Middle East.
After Iran claimed they had sent no further missiles in Israel's direction after agreeing to peace, Trump told reporters that he's 'not happy' with either party.
He added that he's specifically 'really unhappy' with Israel, adding that it would be a 'major violation' if they responded to the latest missiles.
Trump encouraged the nation to 'bring your pilots home, now', adding that Iran's nuclear capacities are 'gone'.
"They [Iran] violated it but Israel violated it too," Trump said. "I’m not happy with Israel."
