President declared the ceasefire over after overnight exchanges between U.S. and Iranian forces, stating he would no longer engage with Iran.
U.S. forces struck Iranian Revolutionary Guard vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, prompting Iran to launch attacks on U.S. military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait.
During the NATO summit, the president described Iran as “scum” and called its leaders sick and violent, suggesting the ceasefire was meaningless.
Central Command reported striking more than 80 targets across Iran, including air defense systems, coastal radar sites, and anti-ship missile capabilities.
U.S. officials said the strikes were retaliation for attacks on three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian state media reported U.S. strikes hit Qeshm Island, Bandar Abbas, and Sirik.
In response, Iran targeted U.S. bases at Salman Port, the Fifth Fleet area in Bahrain, and Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait.
The president indicated that any future talks with Iran would be futile, labeling them as liars and time‑wasters.
Oil prices rose sharply after the remarks, moving from $76 to $78 per barrel.
Earlier in June, both sides accused each other of violating a ceasefire agreement, and the U.S. had signed a peace agreement with Iran that was later disputed.
The escalating tensions highlight the fragile nature of the regional security landscape and the potential for further escalation.
