Trump Says US Ceasefire With Iran Is 'Over' After Strikes
Source: Bloomberg
US President Donald Trump said his tentative ceasefire with Iran is over.
For me, I think its over, he said on Wednesday in Ankara, sitting next to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the military alliances annual summit. As far as Im concerned its just a waste of time.
Trumps 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 dont want to deal with them, but theyre scum, Trump said. You know what scum is? Theyre scum. Theyre sick people, theyre led by sick people, and theyre vicious, violent people, and if they had a nuclear weapon, theyd use it.

He'll probably declare "total victory" again by the end of the week.
What's that been now, 8 or 9 total victories in Iran? Just think of all the peace prizes!
