Trump says ceasefire with Iran is over
After US strikes on Iran, the former president declared a ceasefire void and praised NATO leaders in Ankara, raising fresh diplomatic strains.
Mateo Fernandez ·
Former president Donald Trump said the fragile ceasefire he had co-signed last month was over after US strikes on Iran this week, and described “a lot of ‘love’ and ‘unity’” at the NATO summit in Ankara. Reaction to his comments from allied capitals and Tehran is still emerging; market reaction is pending.
Ankara summit remarks
Trump left the Ankara meetings while publicly framing the gathering as unified even as he revived old threats, including comments about Greenland. Officials said his statements signal a return to provocative diplomacy that allies handled cautiously during the summit. Delegations met without a public rupture, but diplomats noted a sharper tone from Washington.
His declaration that the ceasefire is void follows US military action in the region; officials said the strikes prompted the shift. That dynamic increases the risk of tit-for-tat escalation with Iran, which could complicate intelligence-sharing, basing access and coalition planning among NATO partners.
Expect diplomatic noise and formal responses in the coming days: watch for statements from allied foreign offices and Iran through 13 July 2026. How capitals react will determine whether the episode is a short diplomatic flare-up or a longer test of alliance cohesion.
