Trump Ends Iran Ceasefire, Though Talks Window Stays Open

President Trump declared the US-Iran ceasefire over on July 8, vowing "hard" strikes tonight. This followed the heaviest military exchange since a June 17 agreement—overnight US strikes on 80+ Iranian targets, then Iranian retaliation against American sites in Bahrain and Kuwait. The 60-day negotiating period remains active, yet Trump called further talks "a waste of time."
