The U.S.-Iran ceasefire has ended. President Donald Trump made that declaration after American forces struck Iran to pre-empt a resuming blockade of the Hormuz Strait. Multiple flare-ups of hostilities in the region preceded the strikes.
Strikes before the blockade
U.S. forces moved first. The action came before Iran could close the Hormuz Strait again, framing Washington's strikes as pre-emptive. Trump's declaration that the ceasefire was over followed, formalizing what the military action had already communicated: the truce between Washington and Tehran is finished.
No timeline, no conditions
Trump attributed the end of the truce to repeated regional escalations. The source names no specific triggering incident and gives no timeline for what Washington does next. No conditions for re-negotiation are stated. The Hormuz Strait remains the named friction point. The next development is unscheduled.
