Trump again declares ceasefire over but says US has agreed to talks with Iran
Trump said Iran asked to resume talks as U.S. officials kept pressure on shipping routes and regional mediation efforts continued.
- President Donald Trump declared on Truth Social Friday that the U.S.-Iran ceasefire is officially "OVER!" but confirmed that Washington has simultaneously accepted an Iranian request to continue diplomatic negotiations.
- The announcement caps a week of intense, direct military conflict that erupted after Iran targeted three commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting devastating U.S. Central Command airstrikes on over 80 coastal military targets.
- Iran fiercely retaliated with a massive wave of drone and missile strikes targeting 85 strategic U.S. military assets across the Persian Gulf, including Port Salman in Bahrain and Ali Al-Salem Air Base in Kuwait.
- The sudden escalation shatters the fragile mid-June memorandum of understanding brokered under Pakistani mediation, which had temporarily paused the 2026 war to allow a 60-day window for comprehensive peace talks.
- The diplomatic window remains narrow but open through regional mediators, as Qatari and Pakistani delegations scramble to keep both sides engaged in technical talks while Trump continues to push for a total denuclearization agreement.
