Trump Ends Ceasefire Because Negotiating With Iran Is 'Just A Waste of Time'
KEY POINTS
- â˘President Trump declared the ceasefire with Iran 'over' on July 8 while attending the NATO summit in Turkey.
- â˘US forces retaliated by striking Iranian military targets following attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz on July 7.
- â˘Trump's rhetoric swung from praising Iranâs leadership to calling them 'cuckoo' and threatening to erase Iran if talks fail.
In a drama that makes bad soap operas look like Shakespeare, President Trump declared the ceasefire with Iran 'over' on July 8, mere 3 weeks after crowning their peace deal 'unconditional surrender.' Despite calling Iran's leadership 'the smartest group' and âvery smart peopleâ on June 18, Trump swiftly switched gears to telling Iran they 'won't even make it back to your fucking country' if the Strait of Hormuz is closed. After US strikes on Iranian targets for renewed attacks, Trump called Iranian leaders 'cuckoo,' 'sick,' and basically untrustworthy talkers at the NATO summit in Turkey. Vice President JD Vance tried Swiss negotiations in the middle of this chaos. Honestly, itâs less Iran diplomacy and more a rollercoaster designed by pranksters â complete with threats to 'finish the job' so Iran 'will no longer exist.' Meanwhile, the White House sidestepped Axiosâ requests, probably hiding the remote control for this geopolitical reality show.
