President Trump will hold a press conference from the NATO Summit in Ankara, Turkey, this afternoon as the US-Iran ceasefire and memorandum of understanding come to an end. 

The US launched attacks against Iran in response to Iran targeting several ships in the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday.

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Trump declared the ceasefire with Iran is “over,” after Iran struck US military strikes in Kuwait and Bahrain earlier Wednesday.

Trump called off the ceasefire and memorandum of understanding on Wednesday during a meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. “To me, I think it’s over,” Trump said. “I don’t want to deal with them anymore. They’re scum.”

He added, “They’re sick people. They’re led by sick people, and they’re vicious, violent people… As far as I’m concerned, it’s just a waste of time dealing with them. They’re liars.”

Trump went on to tell reporters that he plans to hit Iran again tonight. “I’ll probably hit them hard again tonight. I’ll give them a little warning: We’re going to hit them hard tonight,” Trump said during his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
