U.S. President Donald Trump Says Temporary U.S.-Iran Ceasefire Deal Has Ended

U.S. President Donald Trump said the temporary ceasefire agreement he reached with Iran has ended, raising the possibility of renewed military conflict between the two countries. According to Jin10, Trump made the remarks on Wednesday at NATO’s annual summit, saying, “For me, I think it’s over,” and calling the situation “a waste of time.” Shortly before his comments, the United States launched a new round of strikes against Iran and revoked waivers that had allowed the sale of Iranian oil. The report said these actions were a response to recent attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The developments brought fresh volatility to energy markets and tested what the report described as an already fragile peace arrangement between the United States and Iran. Trump said he did not want to deal with Iran and used harsh language to describe its leadership, adding that if Iran had nuclear weapons, it would use them. However, Trump said he would not stop negotiators from continuing contacts, even though he expressed pessimism about the approach. He said Iran could talk, but he believed it was wasting time.
