U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the ceasefire with Iran is effectively over following attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Calling Iran's leadership "sick," Trump said he no longer wanted to negotiate, accusing Tehran of violating the truce and endangering global shipping. The United States responded with military strikes on Iranian targets and revoked Iran's oil export waiver, further escalating tensions. Iran condemned the U.S. actions as a breach of the agreement and launched retaliatory attacks on American military facilities. The renewed conflict has raised concerns over regional stability, diplomacy, and global energy markets. (PC: India Today)
