Ceasefire declared over

Speaking alongside NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Ankara, Trump said the ceasefire "se ha acabado" (is over) and that Iran would use a nuclear weapon if they had one. He claimed Iran has killed 54,000 protesters and accused the regime of being "mala gente" (bad people) Source: eldiado, elnacionalve. Despite his harsh rhetoric, Trump said he would allow negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to continue talks, though he views them as a waste of time Source: emolcl.

Escalation of hostilities

The remarks followed overnight U.S. strikes on Iran in response to Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran retaliated by bombing U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf Source: diariolibree. Earlier, Washington had revoked authorization for Iranian oil sales due to the maritime aggressions Source: emolcl.

What's next

Trump warned of possible further strikes that night, stating "we hit them hard last night" and that Iran is "behaving very badly" Source: infobae. The conflicting signals—ending the ceasefire while allowing negotiators to talk—suggest an unpredictable U.S. posture toward Iran.
