Donald Trump said at the NATO summit that the ceasefire agreement with Iran is “over,” although he left open the possibility that talks could continue between negotiators from the two sides.
“As far as I’m concerned, it’s over [the agreement]. I will speak with our negotiators. They want to negotiate. They are good people, Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, but they then have to come to me. As far as I’m concerned, it is simply a waste of time to deal [with Iran].”
Earlier, the United States attacked more than 80 Iranian targets because, it says, Iran attacked three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, although Iran has not yet claimed responsibility.
Trump also said that he is not “happy” with NATO and that he wants to cut trade relations with Spain.
On Tuesday, the United States reinstated sanctions on Iranian oil, while a US official warned that Iran’s attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz were “completely unacceptable” and would have consequences.
Iran then responded to the US attacks by striking American bases in Bahrain and Kuwait.
The two sides are accusing each other of violating last month’s agreement, while the United States reinstated sanctions on Iranian oil and global oil prices rose by 5%.
Meanwhile, apart from announcing the end of the agreement, Trump said that he is not “happy” with NATO and that he wants to cut trade relations with Spain.
