Trump Declares Iran Ceasefire Over

At the NATO summit in Ankara, President Donald Trump declared the three-week-old ceasefire with Iran over, calling Iranian leaders 'scum' and 'sick people.' He threatened to launch further strikes and warned that Iran’s new attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz would be met with overwhelming force.

The outburst shattered remaining diplomatic hopes and set the stage for a new night of US military action.

Trump also acknowledged he is Iran’s 'number one target' for assassination, adding a rare note of personal vulnerability.
