Trump says ceasefire with Iran is over United States President Donald Trump said this Wednesday (8) that the peace agreement signed with Iran is "over" and said he no longer wants dialogue with Tehran. ? Follow g1's international news channel on WhatsApp "For me, I think [the peace agreement] is over. I don't want to deal with them [Iran] anymore. They're scum, they're led by sick people and they're a mean, violent people. (...) I'll talk to my negotiators, but it's a waste of time dealing with them. As far as I know, it's over," said Trump when asked if the agreement was "dead." Trump's speech, at a press conference in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, before a NATO summit, came after another exchange of bombings between the US and Iran that took place between Tuesday and Wednesday. The two countries are officially in the midst of a ceasefire in the war between them, and signed a preliminary peace agreement in June. The Iranian government had not yet made a public statement this Wednesday after Trump's speech about the peace agreement until the last update of this report.

In response, Iran said the US strikes were a "clear violation" of the peace agreement and launched retaliatory strikes against US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait in the early hours of Wednesday. Both affected Arab countries are home to Washington's military bases: Bahrain is home to the US Navy's 5th Fleet, while Kuwait serves as headquarters for US Army forces in the region. The two governments issued missile warnings to the population early in the morning.
