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 it’s over,” he said on Wednesday in Ankara, sitting next to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the military alliance’s annual summit. “As far as I’m concerned it’s just a waste of time.”

Trump’s 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 don’t want to deal with them, but they’re scum,” Trump said. “You know what scum is? They’re scum. They’re sick people, they’re led by sick people, and they’re vicious, violent people, and if they had a nuclear weapon, they’d use it.”

After reading this news. I’m worried once again that this incompetent administration is going to try a ground invasion to take the straits.

They haven't been annihilated?

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!

Accounts of that differ. Personally, I believe the whole MoU scam was birthday bullshit.

I just heard he's easing off on the whole attack idea, so it will be "Buy" time.

Every accusation to actually be a confession with this administration, that line accusing Iran of using a nuclear weapon is pretty concerning.
