President Donald Trump said he believes the 60-day ceasefire with Iran is "over," after U.S. warplanes and missiles hit more than 80 targets following attacks from the regime on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, Trump stopped short of ending negotiations with Iran, but said: "I'll speak to our negotiators. They want to negotiate they're good people — Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner — but they have to come back to me, and as far as I'm concerned it's just a waste of time dealing with them."
