U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he believes the ceasefire agreed with Iran on June 17 is \u201cover,\u201d and suggested breaking all communication with authorities of the Islamic Republic following an exchange of strikes between both countries<\/a>. But he also said that negotiators could \u201ckeep talking\u201d if they want. <\/p>\n

Speaking at a NATO summit in Ankara<\/a>, Turkey, the U.S. president answered a question about the state of the ceasefire by insulting Iranian leaders and saying \u201cit\u2019s just a waste of time dealing with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re scum. They\u2019re sick people. They\u2019re led by sick people. And they\u2019re vicious, violent people. And if they had a nuclear weapon, they\u2019d use it. As far as I\u2019m concerned it\u2019s over,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

His words sent the price of oil surging, with Brent crude futures up 6% in London to more than $78 a barrel, while European stock markets lost more than 2%.<\/p>\n

Exchange of attacks<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had attacked 85 U.S. military bases in Bahrain and Kuwait in the early hours of Wednesday, just hours after the United States again bombed various targets inside the Asian country in retaliation for Iranian attacks the previous day against three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. <\/p>\n

The new military skirmishes follow Washington\u2019s announcement the day before of a decision that places the ceasefire agreement signed by Tehran and Washington on the brink of collapse, even more so than the recent exchange of attacks. The move was the revocation of the provisional permission that allowed Iran to export oil under the memorandum of understanding the two countries signed on June 17. That document was expected to open a path to a definitive peace after a 60-day negotiation period. However, the prospect of a final end to the war launched by Israel and the United States on February 28 is now more in doubt than ever.<\/p>\n

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte<\/a> said hours later at the NATO leaders\u2019 summit in Ankara that the new U.S. strikes against Iran were \u201cabsolutely necessary.\u201d <\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s joint military command, the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, in turn accused the United States of breaking the ceasefire by committing \u201ca blatant act of aggression.\u201d It then threatened a \u201ccrushing response\u201d and warned that Tehran would not allow U.S. interference in management of the Strait of Hormuz, which has become Iran\u2019s main bargaining chip during the war.<\/p>\n

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of Iran\u2019s parliament who led Tehran\u2019s ceasefire negotiating team, also accused the United States on Wednesday of violating the truce. Significantly, Ghalibaf not only cited the latest U.S. military strikes but also the reinstatement of the ban on selling oil and Israeli attacks in Lebanon, a country Iran insisted should be included in the memorandum signed in mid-June.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe era of intimidation and extortion is over,\u201d Qalibaf wrote in a post on X. \u201cWe will not bow,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to resume bombings unless Iran agrees to a definitive deal. Despite everything, a U.S. official said on Tuesday that the agreement was not broken and that negotiators were still working \u201cin good faith\u201d to reach a final deal with Iran.<\/p>\n
