US President ​Donald Trump ‌on Friday said ​the ​US had agreed ⁠to talks ​with Iran after Tehran asked to ​continue ​negotiations, but he ‌added ⁠that the ceasefire between ​the ​two ⁠nations was “over.”

“The Islamic ​Republic of Iran has asked us ⁠to continue ‘talks.’ We have agreed to do ​so, but the United States has stated ​to them, in no uncertain terms, that the Cease Fire is OVER!” Trump wrote in a ​post on Truth Social.

The US and Iran ​traded strikes this week, with the Iranian armed forces ‌launching attacks on US military infrastructure in Gulf states on Thursday following US strikes on Iran’s southern coastal and eastern provinces.

The ​two nations ​reached an ⁠interim deal last month to end a four-month conflict ​that has throttled worldwide energy supplies.

Trump’s ​inability ⁠to end the war has frustrated the president, whose Republican Party faces midterm elections ⁠later ​this year amid high ​gas prices and voter discontent.
