Trump Declares Iran Ceasefire Over

Trump said the United States had hit more than 80 Iranian targets overnight after Iran attacked commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

He threatened to seize Iran's Kharg Island oil terminal and target desalination plants if Tehran retaliated.

The president called himself Iran's number one target and mused that he may be gone soon.

Iran's foreign ministry accused the US of violating the terms of the memorandum of understanding that underpinned the truce.
