WASHINGTON/TEHRAN/LONDON/DOHA /ANKARA - US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the ceasefire with Iran "is over", and he does not want to deal with Iran anymore. 

US, Iran trade attacks amid rising tensions

The US earlier launched strikes against 80 Iranian targets, and in response, Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps attacked 85 US military sites in Bahrain, Kuwait, in a new round of escalation of regional tensions.

The US completed a new round of strikes against Iran, hitting over 80 targets, the US Central Command said Tuesday evening.

Iran's state-run Press TV reported renewed explosions on its Qeshm island, with several blasts being heard on Kharg island.

Iran's top joint military command said that its armed forces will give a "crushing response" to US attacks and will not allow US interference in the management of the Strait of Hormuz.

Press TV reported on Wednesday that heavy explosions rocked Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait. Moreover, multiple explosions were heard in Bahrain on Wednesday, and the interior ministry said sirens had sounded in the country.

Iranian Parliament Speaker and top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, said Wednesday that violations of "Iranian adjustments" in the Strait of Hormuz, continued threats of further strikes, the reinstatement of oil sanctions, attacks on southern Iran, and continued Israeli aggression on Lebanon constitute major MoU violations by the US.

"The era of bullying and extortion is over. It leads nowhere," he wrote in a post on X.

Iran-US talks

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said on Tuesday that negotiations between Iran and the US on a final agreement will not begin if the US threats continue.

He made the remarks in a post on social media platform X one day after Trump said the US would either reach a deal with Iran or "finish the job", reiterating his earlier threats of targeting Iran's bridges and energy infrastructure.

"Negotiations on final Deal will not commence if threats continue. Honor your signature," Araghchi said, citing Paragraph 13 of the recently-signed Iran-US peace memorandum of understanding (MoU), which sets conditions for launching final agreement negotiations, including ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon.
