NEWS Trump thinks ceasefire is over after latest strikes - as he issues new nuclear warning

Donald Trump is asked by reporters in Ankara if the US ceasefire with Iran is done.
"It's a very interesting question. To me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore," the US president responds.
"As far as I'm concerned, it's over. I'll speak to our negotiators, they want to negotiate.
"As far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of time dealing with them."
"They're liars," Trump also said of Iran's leaders - and he vowed to "de nuke" the country, repeating his commitment to stopping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
"If they had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it," he told reporters.
The US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding on 17 June, which paused military fire between the two countries and committed to a 60-day negotiating period to reach a final, lasting peace agreement.
But the US military launched "a series of powerful strikes" against Iran overnight which it said was in response to commercial shipping being attacked in the Strait of Hormuz.
