Trump says US-Iran talks to continue, but ceasefire is over; France says Iran breached MoU

President Donald Trump announced that Iran has asked to continue talks with the United States, but declared that a ceasefire between the two nations is over. This statement follows recent military exchanges that have cast doubt on a temporary memorandum of understanding signed last month.

France has also accused Tehran of violating the agreement. At a UN Security Council meeting, France's UN ambassador, Jerome Bonnafont, stated that Iran's attacks on Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, and commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz breached the memorandum. He urged Tehran to ensure the strategic waterway remains open in accordance with international law.

“

We have agreed to Iran talks, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the ceasefire is over.

Trump's remarks emphasized the US position, stating, "We have agreed to Iran talks, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the ceasefire is over." The renewed military actions and diplomatic accusations signal a significant escalation in tensions between the US and Iran.
