Trump declares ceasefire with Iran ‘over’
President Donald Trump described Iranian leadership as “sick people” and “scum” and declared the ceasefire “over” after the U.S. pounded struck 80 Iranian targets following attacks in Hormuz.
President Donald Trump said the tentative ceasefire with Iran is “over” after an intense bombing campaign overnight that followed Iranian attacks on commercial shipping.
“For me? I think it’s over,” Trump told reporters during a meeting with Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey, Wednesday. “I don’t want to deal with them anymore, they’re scum.”
ADVERTISEMENTHe said talks with Iran could continue, but they’re a waste of time. “They’re liars, they’re cheats. They’re sick people.”
The comments may signal an end to weeks of talks that followed both sides signing a memorandum of understanding, in which they agreed to allow traffic to resume in the Strait of Hormuz and spend 60 days negotiating a long-term peace deal.
But Iran struck at least three commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Monday and Tuesday, and the U.S. military responded with strikes on more than 80 targets in Iran.
On Wednesday the Kuwaiti military said it intercepted two Iranian ballistic missiles and 13 drones.
“We attacked very powerfully last night the very dangerous people from Iran,” Trump said.
He noted that the U.S. had given Iranians a week off from negotiations for the funeral of slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
“We said, go and do your funeral stuff,” he said. “And instead of that, they started shooting rockets at ships yesterday.”
ADVERTISEMENTHe continued to insist the U.S. would “denuclearize” Iran and likened the country’s leadership to cancer. “You know what you do? You’ve got to cut out cancer early.”
On Tuesday, the U.S. clawed back oil sanctions waivers — a key concession offered to Iran as part of the memorandum of understanding.
A view of commercial cargo vessels and crude oil tankers are anchored in the Gulf of Oman, off the coast of Muscat, Oman, on June 21, 2026, as they prepare to transit through the critical Strait of Hormuz. Maritime traffic along this vital global trade corridor experienced severe disruptions following heightened geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran that escalated earlier in February. Following a diplomatic memorandum of understanding reached in mid-June, the strategic waterway is expected to fully reopen to international shipping and energy transit.
