The Islamic Republic of Iran has declared the Islamabad Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding with the United States terminated, saying the framework has officially collapsed after President Trump’s remarks.
Tehran says the development gives it a broader mandate to confront the United States, Israel, and what it describes as their regional and global proxies. US bases in the middle east have been targeted in response to the US airstrike against iran by the US military.
US President Donald Trump had on Wednesday in Turkey, said the truce with Iran is over.
"For me, the truce with Iran is over. They are evil, sick people, and we must get rid of them. They are a cancer."
Trump, stated that, as far as he is concerned, the truce with Iran is over. Tehran has stated that any passage through the waterway must be coordinated with the Iranian military. The United States has responded with attacks on Iran, while Tehran is sending drones and missiles to U.S. bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.

Saudi Arabia strongly condemns repeated Iranian attacks against Kuwait and Bahrain, affirming that these acts constitute a violation of state sovereignty and international law. The same Kingdom supported the joint US and Israel's unprovoked attacks against the Islamic Republic.
According to U.S. government sources, the U.S. Navy is expected to relaunch its naval blockade operation against Iran within the next few hours.
The plan would not only bar the Islamic Republic from exporting petrochemical products and natural gas but also prevent commercial vessels from operating from Iranian ports. The sources further indicated that the operation would be more extensive than previous efforts and would be accompanied by daily airstrikes against military targets in Iran.
Trump didn’t wait for Washington. He reportedly gave the green light to strike Iran while attending the NATO summit in Turkey. Diplomacy just took a back seat to military force. Trump warns the US could take out Iran's electricity and water plants if necessary, but says he does not want to do so.
He said Israel would have been “blown to pieces” by Iran without him as president and Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister, saying the two had made “a lot of progress” with Iran.
“If you had other prime ministers, you know what? There wouldn’t be an Israel right now,” Trump told reporters at a NATO summit in Ankara on Wednesday. “It would have been blown to pieces by Iran.”
“If you had a weak prime minister ... And if you had a different president, I guarantee there wouldn’t be an Israel. Israel wouldn’t exist today if you didn’t have me as president,” Trump added.
“We’ve made a lot of progress with Iran, too,” Trump said. “Wiped out their military, but they should have been done 47 years ago.”
Certainly, Iran will close the Strait of Hormuz in the event of any fresh attacks on the country and strike at least two enemy targets for every Iranian target hit, Press TV reported Wednesday citing an informed source.
The source said Iran would give a “powerful response” to any threat and would not distinguish between the United States and its regional partners
Trump, in a strategic move to booster the middle eastern front against Iran and proxy allies, lifted all sanctions against Syria.

On the seemly success of his efforts to mobilise NATO allies to joining the war against Tehran, Trump said the United States might abandon efforts to reach a nuclear agreement with Iran, saying it could achieve its objectives without one.
French President Emmanuel Macron Wednesday said he believed meetings under the 60-day ceasefire between Iran and the United States would continue despite Iranian strikes on US bases in the Persian Gulf.
"I don't know if we're going to have a deal," Trump told reporters in Ankara. "We may just do it without a deal, because you know what, it's easier."
Trump said Iran's leaders "lie and they cheat" and accused them of reneging on commitments after negotiations.
"They'll never build a nuclear weapon under our deal," he said. "But I don't know if we're going to have a deal."
Trump also criticized former US President Barack Obama's nuclear agreement with Iran, calling it "one of the worst tragedies" in the Middle East and saying, "Our deal is a wall to a nuclear weapon. His deal was a road to a nuclear weapon."
French President Emmanuel Macron Wednesday said he believed meetings under the 60-day ceasefire between Iran and the United States would continue despite Iranian strikes on US bases in the Persian Gulf.
Macron said the strikes violated the interim accord and that Iran had been mistaken to carry them out. Both Trump and Iranian leaders said separately on Wednesday that the agreement was "over".
On his own part, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Wednesday he hoped the US-Iran memorandum of understanding would help bring peace to the region.
“Türkiye remained optimistic but cautious,” Erdogan said at a press conference at the NATO Summit in Ankara alongside French President Emmanuel Macron.
Erdogan warned that measures “must be taken against provocations.”
According to an online report, a source close to Iran's chief negotiator says Iran is preparing a massive, coordinated strike on Israel—hundreds of drones and missiles, including new, never-before-seen weapons—following intelligence that Israel could attack as early as today, per some Iranian outlets.
The source pointed to Hegseth's abrupt Israel trip cancellation and Trump's warning — "I will probably hit them hard again tonight" — as confirmation that escalation is imminent.
The source also emphasized Netanyahu's political calculus: facing October elections, he needs a show of strength — and a strike on Iran would boost his standing. Israel's refusal to withdraw from Lebanon and its willingness to act alone has convinced Tehran that an attack is coming. Iran is preparing accordingly.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called for the United States and Iran to return “back to the ceasefire” and implement a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
Speaking at the NATO summit in Ankara, Starmer warned that the economic situation in the United Kingdom and elsewhere would worsen if the violence continued.
“Household bills are likely going to be impacted if we don’t get that situation as quickly as possible,” he said.
The latest US strikes were a “serious violation” of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding, CBS News reported citing government sources inside Iran
