U.S. President Donald Trump has declared that the ceasefire between Washington and Tehran is effectively over, even as Iran pushes for continued negotiations.
In a strongly worded message posted on Truth Social, Trump said Iran had requested further talks and the United States agreed to continue discussions. However, he stressed that Washington had made its position crystal clear — the ceasefire arrangement no longer exists
. The statement comes just weeks after both countries reached a temporary agreement aimed at ending months of hostilities that shook global energy markets and disrupted oil supplies.
The four-month confrontation reportedly claimed thousands of lives and triggered concerns over shipping routes and fuel prices across the world. Trump's latest remarks have now sparked fresh fears of renewed tensions in the Middle East, with investors and world leaders closely watching the next round of negotiations.
Whether diplomacy can prevent another escalation remains the biggest question facing the region.
