Trump Declares Iran Ceasefire Over; Massive U.S. Air Strikes Commenced

President Donald Trump has officially declared the 60-day ceasefire with Iran void, launching a massive military campaign involving strikes on 90 Iranian targets. The White House cited Iran's 'failed performance' and recent attacks on shipping vessels in the Strait of Hormuz as the primary reasons for ending the 'performance-based' memorandum. Overnight strikes hit the perimeter of the Bushehr nuclear power plant, a military base in Choghadak, and infrastructure in southern Bushehr province. Iran’s Health Ministry reported 14 deaths and dozens of injuries resulting from the operations. In response, Tehran has expanded its retaliatory efforts beyond the Gulf coast, targeting U.S. military installations in Jordan. While President Trump signaled a shift toward total military imposition—stating he is 'not sure he wants a deal anymore' and wants to 'finish the job'—diplomatic channels remain surprisingly active. U.S. officials confirmed that technical negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program are continuing uninterrupted, maintaining a dual-track approach of high-intensity combat alongside back-channel diplomacy. The escalation has sent shockwaves through global markets, with oil prices surging 6%. The International Energy Agency (IEA) warned that continued hostilities could jeopardize the projected 2027 oil market surplus. Compounding the tension, Israeli intelligence has reportedly shared evidence with the U.S. regarding a new Iranian plot to assassinate President Trump, adding a critical security dimension to the rapidly deteriorating situation.
