Trump says the temporary ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran has ended.
BlockBeats reported on July 8 that US President Trump stated that the temporary ceasefire agreement he reached with Iran had ended, increasing the possibility of a renewed military conflict between the two countries. "For me, I think it's over," he said at the annual NATO summit on Wednesday. "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 waivers allowing the sale of Iranian oil. These actions were a response to the recent attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, bringing new volatility to energy markets and testing the already fragile peace agreement between the US and Iran. Trump stated, "I don't want to deal with them, but they're scum. You know what scum is? They're scum. They're sick people, led by sick people, they're vicious and violent people, and if they had nuclear weapons, they would use them." However, Trump indicated he would not prevent negotiators from continuing contact, although he expressed pessimism about this strategy. He said, "They have problems, they're crazy. They can talk, but I think they're wasting their time." (Jinshi)
