Trump Declares Iran Ceasefire Over After Strikes

Speaking at the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump accused Iran of being 'sick people' and said the US military had 'hit them very hard last night'.

The US had revoked a licence allowing Iranian oil sales after three commercial vessels were struck in the Strait of Hormuz.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte defended the US strikes as 'absolutely necessary' after Iran had violated the ceasefire.

Oil prices jumped more than 5% on the news, while global stock markets fell sharply.
