President Donald Trump said Wednesday morning that the ceasefire with Iran is over, using the phrase 'for me,' according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The statement follows earlier declarations in which Trump called the Iranians 'psychopaths' and 'scum.'
President Donald Trump said at 11:30 Jerusalem time Wednesday that the ceasefire with Iran is over 'for me,' according to Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The remark adds a personal qualifier to a series of increasingly hostile statements the president made earlier this morning.
At 11:24, as The Zioneer reported, Trump called the Iranians 'a bunch of psychopaths' and 'cancer' and declared the ceasefire over. Four minutes later, at 11:28, he was quoted calling them 'a bunch of scum.' The thread of statements from this morning also includes earlier claims — published by The Zioneer at 11:09 — that the US struck Iran '20 times harder than before,' that the memorandum of understanding is canceled, and that Trump appears on Iranian assassination lists. These reports were sourced from i24NEWS, Channel 14, N12, Yedioth Ahronoth, and Army Radio, indicating broad media coverage.
The latest declaration follows a pattern of Trump's on-again, off-again approach to the Iran truce. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, Trump declared the ceasefire over and vowed 'very heavy' strikes. On June 12, he said the war was finished and Iran agreed to never hold nuclear weapons. On June 28, he announced US strikes on Iranian missile and radar sites.
It remains unclear what the 'for me' qualification means for official US policy. Tehran has not issued a response.
