Trump Says Washington & Tehran Will Continue Talks, But Ceasefire Is “OVER”

TrumpSitsNATO

President Donald Trump said that the Islamic Republic has requested peace negotiations to continue, and he obliged. Despite re-opening the door to talks, the ceasefire stemming from the Memorandum of Understanding is “over” – indicating a possibility of war continuing throughout the peace process.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue “talks.” We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

Following Iranian strikes on three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz Tuesday, the U.S. launched “powerful strikes” against Iranian targets.

Tehran’s reasoning for attacking the ships stemmed from them taking a U.S.-approved southernly route out of the Strait instead of the Iranian-approved northerly route. Iran wants ships to exit Hormuz along their own coast to better justify collection of a toll.

President Donald Trump made inroads into ending the Iran war on June 17 with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding.

The Islamic Republic also signed the 14-point agreement, initiating a dialogue to formally conclude the war.

While meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte in Ankara, Turkey on Wednesday, Trump said that he considers the MoU to be “over,” and that the deal was “a waste of time.”

“For me, I think it’s over,” Trump said. “I don’t want to deal with them anymore.”

The President then called Iran “scum.”

“They’re scum, do you know what scum is? They’re scum. They’re sick people. They’re led by sick people. And they’re vicious violent people,” Trump said of Iran.
