During the NATO summit held in Ankara, US President Donald Trump announced that the ceasefire with Iran, which was established in June, has come to an end. Labeling Iranian leadership as "bad people," Trump stated, "I don't want to deal with them. I think...MoU [signed with Iran] is over." These comments were made as the United States initiated new military strikes against Tehran in the wake of attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz.
