Truce and fire: The ghost of Versailles haunts Trump. But is Iran overplaying its hand?

President Trump declared the June 17 ceasefire with Iran over, ordering fresh US strikes. Iran responded by targeting tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating tensions. The conflict's tempo is now largely controlled by Iran's ability to disrupt oil shipments. Both sides face pressures, with neither in a decisive position to end the war. Managed instability with periodic attacks and negotiations is the likely immediate outcome.

Iran war looms large over Trump administration ahead of vital midterm elections

Sky News contributor Kristin Tate argues the conflict with Iran is "casting a shadow" over the Trump administration ahead of the US midterms. “The war in Iran has really dominated discussions here on the ground in America, and particularly among Trump’s base, they want to see this wrapped up,” Ms Tate told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. “People are kind of done with it, especially because Trump campaigned on not starting any new wars and focusing on domestic issues and strengthening the country from within. “If he wants to remain strong, especially going into the midterm elections this fall, which are very important for Republicans, this war in Iran needs to be wrapped up.”

Trump says Iran ceasefire is 'over': 'They're scum. They're sick people'

President Donald Trump said he believes the 60-day ceasefire with Iran is over, after U.S. warplanes and missiles hit more than 80 targets following attacks from the regime on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. Speaking at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, Trump stopped short of ending negotiations with Iran, but said: I'll speak to our negotiators. They want to negotiate they're good people — Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner — but they have to come back to me, and as far as I'm concerned it's just a waste of time dealing with them.

Iran’s Ghalibaf calls US deal an ‘American declaration of defeat’

Iran’s Ghalibaf calls US deal an ‘American declaration of defeat’ Iran’s chief negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has described the agreement reached with the United States to end the regional war as an “American declaration of defeat”. Speaking at a conference in Azerbaijan’s capital, Baku, on Wednesday, Ghalibaf said the Islamabad understanding, finalised through Pakistani mediation, was not achieved through “pressure and coercion”, but through the “resistance and authority” of the Iranian people. Ghalibaf, who also serves as Iran’s parliament speaker, said Tehran viewed the withdrawal of foreign military forces from the Middle East as a strategic objective, arguing that their presence was a source of instability rather than lasting security. “We see the future of the region not in confrontation but in interaction, and not in elimination but in coexistence,” he said, in an apparent overture to Gulf states targeted by Iranian strikes during the war. Ghalibaf also reiterated that ending the war in Lebanon was a central condition for reaching a final agreement with Washington. “For us, the ceasefire in Lebanon has been and remains as important as the ceasefire in Iran,” he said.
