US President Donald Trump says the ceasefire with Iran is over “as far as I’m concerned” after further exchanges of strikes and fire. Multiple outlets report that Trump made the remarks following fresh US military action against Iran. In the reports, Trump characterizes renewed efforts to negotiate with Tehran as futile, saying dealing with Iran is a “waste of time.” Some sources also include Trump’s harsh descriptions of Iran and its leadership in the context of the renewed hostilities.
The accounts also describe Iran’s response to the US actions. Iran’s statements, as cited in the coverage, indicate that Iranian forces targeted US bases in the Gulf after Washington launched strikes on Iran. Bloomberg and other outlets place Trump’s comments during a public appearance in Ankara, where he is attending the 2026 NATO Summit.
Overall, the reporting is consistent that Trump publicly declares an end to the ceasefire following renewed US-Iran conflict, while US and Iranian statements describe opposing targeting and retaliatory actions in the same timeframe.
