President Donald Trump announced that the tentative cease‑fire between the United States and Iran had ended and warned of imminent military action, saying the United States would strike Iran that night. He did not specify whether the conflict would resume full‑scale war or remain limited, but suggested that pursuing objectives without a negotiated settlement might be simpler. The statement coincided with a jump in crude prices, Iranian retaliatory attacks on U.S. installations in Bahrain and Kuwait, and several oil tankers reversing course away from the Strait of Hormuz.
