Trump says U.S. -Iran ceasefire over, talks to continue despite renewed attacks.

The fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran appears to have collapsed after Iranian forces renewed attacks this week and Washington declared that the truce was no longer in effect.

U.S. officials informed mediators that the ceasefire had ended, while Iranian officials accused Washington of failing to honor the preliminary agreement. Tehran claims the United States violated understandings related to security in the Strait of Hormuz.

Despite the renewed hostilities, both sides continue to pursue diplomatic efforts. According to officials, technical talks are expected to take place, with the parties remaining committed to seeking a solution to the crisis.

Iran has agreed to host Qatari mediators as part of efforts to reduce tensions. According to a person familiar with the matter, Qatari negotiators met Iranian officials on Friday to discuss de-escalation and security in the Strait of Hormuz.

No new attacks were reported on Friday as regional mediators attempted to preserve diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the conflict.

Iranian state media have not officially confirmed whether Tehran requested the continuation of negotiations.

The broader conflict began on February 28 with U.S. strikes on Iranian sites, followed by Iranian retaliatory strikes against U.S. targets.
