The ceasefire labeled "over" stems from the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding signed in June 2026. The terms demanded an immediate, permanent halt to military operations across all fronts. Both sides agreed to hold the status quo while negotiating a final deal within 60 days. During that window, the US would move to terminate sanctions.
President Donald Trump declared the truce over on July 8, 2026. The trigger was Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The US responded by striking more than 80 targets inside Iran. Iran retaliated by targeting US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain.
