US President Donald Trump stated at the NATO Summit in Ankara that he considers the ceasefire with Iran terminated. Trump criticized Iranians, labeling them as “liars and sick people.” He expressed his reluctance to engage further with Iran, describing them as “scum” and accusing them of being led by violent individuals who would use a nuclear weapon if possessed.
Trump accused Iran of killing 54,000 protesters, a claim he stated was not reported by the press. He emphasized his disinterest in negotiating with Iran, referring to them as “liars” and “cheats” who have harmed their own people. Trump expressed his frustration with Iran’s actions, highlighting his refusal to waste time on negotiations with them.
Following the US military strikes against Iran, targeting over 80 sites in response to alleged attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, Trump’s administration announced the operation. The strikes aimed to diminish Iran’s capacity to threaten international maritime trade. US Central Command (CENTCOM) detailed the precision strikes on Iranian air defense systems, command networks, radar sites, and more, to deter further threats to global commerce.
