Trump Declares Iran Ceasefire Ended Following US Strikes
President Donald Trump announced that Iran had sought negotiations with the US following repeated American airstrikes in the region. The US launched new airstrikes to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, after which Iran attacked Kuwait and Bahrain. Trump declared the ceasefire agreement signed on June 17 "ended" and suggested that the US had won the conflict. The announcement led to a rise in oil prices and falling stock markets worldwide.
