Trump declares ceasefire with Iran over after new attacks

In early July 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump announced at a NATO summit in Turkey that the ceasefire with Iran is over. He made the declaration after both sides exchanged fire in the Gulf region, including U.S. strikes near the Strait of Hormuz. Trump called Iranian leaders 'scum' during his remarks at the summit in Ankara.

The ceasefire had been in place but unraveled following the latest attacks. Trump's statement signals a return to active hostilities between the U.S. and Iran, with no immediate indication of further diplomatic efforts.
