Trump says U.S. agrees to negotiate with Iran but ceasefire is 'over'

President Donald Trump announced Friday that the United States has agreed to resume negotiations with Iran, but firmly stated that the ceasefire between the two countries is over. This declaration comes amidst ongoing tensions and repeated clashes.

“

Iran has asked us to continue the 'conversations.' We have agreed to do so, but the United States has made it unequivocally clear to them that the ceasefire IS OVER.

The ceasefire, which began on April 8, was intended to end weeks of conflict that erupted after a U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran on February 28. However, the truce has been repeatedly marred by lower-intensity confrontations. Trump conveyed this message via his social media platform, Truth Social, emphasizing that while the U.S. accepted Iran's request for continued "conversations," Iran was unequivocally informed that the ceasefire had concluded.

Trump's remarks follow similar statements made during the NATO summit in Ankara earlier in the week, where he labeled Iranian officials as "trash" and "sick people." He accused Iran of misrepresenting agreements made in a June 17 protocol between Washington and Tehran, which had endorsed the April ceasefire. The U.S. president also indicated he would consult with his special envoy and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who have been engaged in discussions with Iranian representatives, stressing that Iran's return to the negotiating table was contingent on Tehran's actions.
