Trump declares Iran ceasefire 'over' and launches massive new airstrikes, threatening further escalation
President Trump unilaterally declared the Iran ceasefire 'over' and ordered a second night of airstrikes on approximately 90 Iranian targets, including near the Bushehr nuclear plant, in retaliation for attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. He posted videos of the explosions on Truth Social with threats of further escalation. The strikes prompted Iranian missile attacks on U.S.-allied nations, raised fears of a wider war, and caused oil price spikes before calming.
