Donald Trump says the US-Iran ceasefire is "over", after both countries exchanged strikes
"I don't want to deal with them anymore, they're scum," the US president says at a Nato summit in Turkey. "They're sick people, they're led by sick people... As far as I'm concerned, it's over" - here are his remarks in full
Trump adds that negotiators on both sides can continue to talk, but "I think they're wasting their time"
Late on Tuesday, the US said it had fired at more than 80 Iranian targets after attacks on three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz - Iran has not directly claimed responsibility
In response, Iran said it was targeting US military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait - recap of how we got here
Nato chief Mark Rutte says the US strikes were "absolutely necessary", accusing Iran of "basically violating the ceasefire"; Iran's parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says the US breached the truce
Last month, Tehran and Washington signed a 14-page memorandum of understanding, aimed at extending the ceasefire and ending the conflict "on all fronts"
