Ceasefire with Iran over, says Trump in big declaration at NATO Summit after US strikes

US Iran War: U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday declared that the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed with Iran to halt hostilities was no longer in effect, signalling a dramatic escalation in tensions across West Asia after renewed American military action. The interim agreement, brokered by Pakistan, had established a 60-day ceasefire aimed at creating space for indirect negotiations on a permanent resolution to the conflict. However, talks held in Qatar failed to produce a breakthrough, and the United States launched a fresh round of strikes against Iranian targets on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said the understanding reached with Tehran had effectively collapsed and dismissed the agreement as ineffective.

Referring to the MoU, he described it as a “waste of time” and criticised the Iranian leadership.

“They’re liars, they’re cheaters, they’re sick people,” Trump said, adding that he had no interest in holding further talks with Iranian officials, as per reports.
