Trump-Nato latest: Iran ceasefire is over says US president as he labels Tehran ‘scum’
Donald Trump has declared the ceasefire in Iran “over” in an extraordinary rant at the Nato summit, just hours after the US launched fresh strikes.
The US president said that Tehran were “sick people”, adding: “I don’t want to deal with them anymore.”
Speaking alongside Nato chief Mark Rutte, Trump said that Iran was led by “sick people”, adding: “I don’t want to deal with them anymore.”
US Central Command claimed to have struck more than 60 small boats of the IRGC as punishment for Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
Washington also revoked a license allowing Iran to sell oil.
Mr Rutte defended the strikes as “absolutely necessary” during the summit in Ankara.
Iranian media earlier reported explosions in Iran's main oil hub of Kharg Island, on Qeshm Island and in the southern port cities of Sirik and Bandar Abbas.
