They\u2019re cuckoo. As far as I\u2019m concerned, it\u2019s over,\u201d he said, referring to the ceasefire agreement signed last month. \u201cSo, I don\u2019t like them at all. And, frankly, I think we waste a lot of time with them. I think we should just do our business.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>    SEE ALSO: U.S. launches new strikes on Iran following attacks on tankers in Strait of Hormuz<\/p>\n<p>  <\/strong><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Mr. Trump stopped short of saying he would halt all negotiations with Iran, saying he would speak to his diplomatic team first. The U.S. and Iran are in the middle of a 60-day window, outlined in the memorandum, reserved for direct technical talks over Iran\u2019s nuclear program and possible sanctions relief.<\/p>\n<p>Further direct negotiations had also been on hold for a week while the Iranian government held a funeral for former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed during the opening hours of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.<\/p>\n<p>However, future discussions between U.S. and Iranian teams seem increasingly unlikely after this week\u2019s attacks.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=3712\">Trump says the U.S. will allow Ukraine to make Patriot missiles for air defense<\/a><\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, maritime authorities reported that three commercial tanker ships were attacked by unidentified objects while moving through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital and contested waterway that Iran has intermittently closed since February to pressure international shipping.<\/p>\n<p>While Iran did not directly claim responsibility, the U.S. and several Gulf nations quickly leveled blame at Tehran, and U.S. Central Command launched a series of retaliatory attacks late Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The strikes reportedly targeted more than 80 locations across Iran, mostly focused on air defenses, coastal radar sites and command and control networks on the country\u2019s southern coastline. Centcom said the goal of the attacks was to degrade Iran\u2019s ability to interfere with international commerce in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>      SEE ALSO: Bahrain and Kuwait face incoming missiles after U.S. strikes on Iran<\/p>\n<p>    <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Casualties from the strikes have not yet been confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>The Tuesday attacks are much more extensive than those launched by CENTCOM last month in response ot a similar attack on a commercial ship traveling through the strait. The U.S. military made it explicit that those attacks were purely proportional and did not seek to restart the war.<\/p>\n<p>Iran on Wednesday launched retaliatory strikes against at least 85 U.S. military installations across Bahrain and Kuwait. Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also said in a statement that its forces shot down an MQ-9 Reaper drone.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters wrote in a statement that \u201cthe origin of any support for the aggressor U.S. military\u201d would be a legitimate target of the Iranian armed forces, implying that Gulf nations could expect further strikes if they host U.S. military installations.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s foreign ministry on Wednesday said the U.S. strikes came after a series of flagrant violations of the terms laid out in the memorandum. Specifically, it said the U.S. made the agreement invalid after it revoked Iran\u2019s ability to sell oil, interfered with Iranian operations in the Strait of Hormuz and failed to stop Israeli attacks in Lebanon.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran\u2019s parliamentary speaker and chief negotiator with the U.S., kept a defiant attitude after the strikes, insisting that Washington had broken the agreement first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe era of bullying and extortion is over.
