Trump Declares US-Iran Ceasefire Over Amid Renewed Strikes and Rising TensionsPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire with Iran "over" following renewed military strikes and escalating tensions in the Gulf region. Trump accused Iran of violating the agreement by attacking commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and described Iranian leaders with harsh terms, while allowing negotiators to continue talks despite skepticism. Iran retaliated with strikes on US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait, with both sides exchanging accusations of ceasefire breaches. The breakdown has raised concerns over regional security, global energy markets, and the future of diplomatic efforts.
