Iran hits back at Trump after he insists truce is over

Iran insisted on Saturday (Jul 11) it had "kept its word" on a ceasefire with the United States, after President Donald Trump insisted the truce was over but that he had agreed to further negotiations with the Islamic republic..



The comments mark a new low in relations between the foes, after an exchange of fire this week rocked a shaky agreement aimed at turning the months-long ceasefire into durable peace and threatened a return to full-scale regional war.



Trump ramped up the rhetoric between the warring sides on Saturday, threatening in a Truth Social post to "completely decimate" Iran if it attempted or succeeded in assassinating him.
