'They are liars': Trump says Iran ceasefire is over for him

President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire with Iran is over, sharply criticizing the Tehran government and accusing its leadership of dishonesty. Trump stated he is unwilling to engage further with Iranian authorities, claiming they publicly denied negotiations they had previously agreed to.

"They are liars," Trump said. "Let's make a deal. Everyone agrees, no nuclear weapons. Let's make a deal, and then they come out, talk to reporters and say we didn't even talk about it."

Trump described the Iranian leadership as "crazy" and accused them of harming their own people. He alleged, without providing sources, that 54,000 people were killed during protests in Iran. He also claimed citizens cannot seize power because they lack weapons, while the opposing side possesses and uses them against demonstrators.

While acknowledging that formal negotiations could continue, Trump expressed little hope for a resolution. "I'll leave it to our wonderful negotiators to continue talks if they want, but I don't see a solution here," the U.S. president stated. His remarks followed a recent escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran. The Iranian Foreign Ministry had previously accused the U.S. of violating a war-ending memorandum, citing new U.S. attacks on southern Iran, oil sanctions, disputes over the Strait of Hormuz, and the ongoing conflict in Lebanon. The U.S., in turn, claimed its new attacks were a response to Iranian strikes on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
