Trump Says US Ceasefire With Iran Is ‘Over’ After Strikes

US President Donald Trump said his tentative ceasefire with Iran is over, raising the prospect of renewed military conflict between the two countries.

"For me, I think it's over," Trump said on Wednesday in Ankara alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the military alliance's annual summit. "As far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of time."

Trump's remarks came shortly after the US launched a new wave of strikes against Iran and revoked a waiver that allowed the sale of Iranian oil.

The actions, taken in response to recent attacks on ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz, brought fresh volatility to energy markets and tested an already fragile peace agreement between Washington and Tehran.

"I don't want to deal with them, but they're scum," Trump said. "They're sick people, they're led by sick people, and they're vicious, violent people, and if they had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it."

Still, Trump said he wouldn't stop negotiators from continuing to engage, even as he expressed pessimism about the diplomatic effort.

"There's something wrong with them, they're cuckoo," he said. "They can talk, but I think they're wasting their time." Yahoo Finance reports.
