President Trump declared that the ceasefire with Iran has ended, according to a report by Channel 14. Analyst Ben Yaniv attributed the escalation to Iran's attack on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, which triggered massive US strikes, and noted that under the Israel-Lebanon agreement, Iran's frozen funds remain inaccessible.
President Trump has reportedly declared the ceasefire with Iran over, according to a report by Channel 14 on Wednesday evening. The report quotes Trump as saying "the ceasefire with Iran has ended," and includes analysis from Ben Yaniv, who attributed the breakdown to Iran's attack on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, which triggered a massive American military response. Yaniv also noted that under the Israel-Lebanon agreement, Iran's frozen funds remain inaccessible, indicating that the Iranians "made a mistake" by attacking the tankers.
The statement follows an earlier assessment reported by The Zioneer at 17:27 Jerusalem, in which analyst Dror Balazada stated that from Trump's perspective, the ceasefire was already over and pressure was mounting in Tehran to resume attacks. The new report appears to confirm that assessment, with Trump himself now stating the ceasefire has ended.
The development comes amid a broader US-Iran escalation that has seen multiple waves of American strikes on Iranian targets over the past two weeks, following Iran's drone attack on a Panama-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. The US-Iran memorandum of understanding, which had been under discussion, is reportedly on the verge of collapse, according to a US official cited by CNN.
The report remains unverified by official US or Iranian sources, and no formal statement from the White House has been released. The situation is developing.
