Trump Calls Iranian Leaders 'Scum,' 'Liars,' and 'Loco' at NATO Summit, Declares Ceasefire 'Over'

During a press conference at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, President Donald Trump launched a personal attack on Iran’s leadership, calling them 'scum,' 'liars,' 'sick people,' and 'little loco.' He stated that the interim ceasefire agreement was 'over' and dismissed further negotiations as 'a waste of time.' The insults and declaration came after renewed hostilities in the Strait of Hormuz and a U.S. bombing campaign, escalating tensions and sending oil prices up sharply. Trump’s comments were widely reported by international media as a dramatic breakdown of diplomacy.
