Is the U.S.-Iran agreement falling apart?
U.S. President Donald Trump has declared the ceasefire with Iran 'over' following a series of retaliatory strikes between the two nations. The escalation threatens a fragile memorandum of understanding that aimed to address nuclear concerns and maritime security.

The collapse of this agreement increases the risk of broader conflict in the Middle East and impacts global oil trade security.
U.S. President Donald Trump, who is in Ankara to attend a NATO summit, said on Wednesday (July 8, 2026) that the ceasefire with Iran was “over”. His remarks came after tit-for-tat overnight strikes by the U.S. and Iran that threatened the already fragile ceasefire.
