TL;DR

President Donald Trump declared that the ceasefire with Iran is over, calling the Iranians 'a bunch of scum,' according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS).

01 · THE DISPATCH

At 11:26 Jerusalem, President Donald Trump declared the ceasefire with Iran over and called the Iranians 'a bunch of scum,' according to a report by Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The statement is the latest in a rapid sequence of escalating remarks from the president this morning.

The first wave of statements emerged at 11:09 Jerusalem, when multiple Israeli outlets (Channel 14, N12, Yedioth, Army Radio) quoted Trump as saying the US had struck Iran '20 times harder,' calling Iranians 'scum,' 'cancer,' 'psychopaths,' and declaring the ceasefire over and the memorandum of understanding canceled. Over the next 17 minutes, Trump continued to escalate: at 11:22 he said the MOU was 'dead' and threatened to use a nuclear weapon; at 11:24 he called Iranians 'a bunch of psychopaths' and 'cancer'; at 11:25 he said he does not want a deal and called them 'sick people.' The 11:26 report from i24NEWS adds a fresh source for the claim that the ceasefire is over and the 'scum' label.

The thread has been reported by multiple Israeli news organizations, including Channel 14, N12, Yedioth, and Army Radio, as well as i24NEWS. The statements are attributed to Trump but have not been independently verified by The Zioneer. The claim of a US attack '20 times stronger' remains unconfirmed.

As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, Trump had previously threatened 'very heavy' strikes and expressed frustration with Iranian stalling. The president's remarks on Saturday suggested a continued hardline posture despite earlier signals of a possible deal. At this point, the reported statements are extensive but have not been corroborated by official US or Iranian sources, and the status of any actual military action remains unclear.
