Trump says Iran ceasefire is ‘over’ after new attacks, but negotiations can continue

As Trump Ends Ceasefire, Hawks Demand Iran Invasion -- And Nuclear Strike?

Right-wing media hawks are floating a new wave of risky and at times bloodthirsty escalations after Iranian forces struck commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. retaliated by resuming military strikes, and President Donald Trump declared the long-shaky ceasefire with Iran “over.” Fox News contributor and Washington Post columnist Marc Thiessen wants to “destroy 100 percent” of Iran’s defense industrial base and “set them back to the …
