Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote that Iran had requested continued talks but that Washington had made clear the ceasefire had ended. He later told the New York Post he had instructed the U.S. military to carry out massive retaliatory strikes if Iran successfully attempts to assassinate him. U.S. forces recently hit at least 170 targets in Iran.
