President Donald Trump said Wednesday that the ceasefire with Iran is “over,” a sign that the fragile diplomatic track with Tehran may be collapsing after new violence in the Strait of Hormuz.
“To me, I think it’s over,” Trump told reporters at a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Ankara, Turkey, when asked whether the ceasefire and memorandum of understanding with Iran were dead.
“I don’t want to deal with them, but they’re scum. You know what scum is? They’re scum, they’re sick people, they’re led by sick people, and they’re vicious, violent people,” Trump added.
