**Summary**: Donald Trump announced around 14:40–14:55 UTC that the ceasefire with Iran is ‘OVER,’ even as Tehran has asked Washington to continue talks. The declaration hardens U.S. signaling just as mediators try to salvage an interim truce and oil prices surge 6% on a renewed exchange of strikes, sharpening global risk to Gulf energy flows and regional war expansion.

## Detail

Around 14:40–14:55 UTC on 10 July, Donald Trump stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran had asked the United States to continue talks and that Washington agreed, but he stressed 'in no uncertain terms' that the ceasefire is 'OVER.' This statement, echoed in both English and Ukrainian-language posts, lands while mediators race to stabilize an interim truce and follows a 'heavy exchange of strikes' that has already pushed crude prices up roughly 6%.

OSINT reporting (14:27 UTC) describes mediators 'scrambling to salvage the U.S.-Iran interim truce deal,' with Qatar launching urgent de-escalation talks in Tehran and the U.S. reportedly blocking Israeli action out of concern it could lose control of the conflict trajectory. Trump’s explicit claim that the ceasefire is finished marks a sharp rhetorical and policy inflection away from restraint toward open acceptance of resumed hostilities, even as back-channel diplomacy continues. No formal U.S. government communique has yet been seen to clarify whether this represents an official position or an attempt to gain leverage in ongoing talks, but it will be read by Tehran, Israel, and Gulf capitals as a green light for harder military options.

For civilians in Israel, Iran, and across the Gulf, the effective end of the ceasefire revives the immediate risk of missile and drone barrages on cities and energy infrastructure. Gulf shipping crews, insurers, and port operators face renewed uncertainty over transits through the Strait of Hormuz and adjacent sea lanes. Governments in Europe and major Asian importers are once again exposed to potential supply shocks, higher fuel costs, and domestic inflation pressure if the conflict escalates into sustained strikes on export terminals, tankers, or offshore platforms.

Militarily, Trump’s message removes the political cover for de facto rules-of-the-road that had constrained both sides in recent weeks. Israel may feel freer to strike Iranian assets without fear of U.S. backlash, while Iran and aligned militias could resume or intensify attacks on U.S. forces, Gulf bases, and commercial shipping to regain leverage. The U.S. posture in the region—including carrier groups, air defense deployments, and tanker escort missions—will now be interpreted as preparing for a more sustained confrontation rather than crisis management under a truce.

Markets are already reacting: an earlier report at 14:27 UTC noted a 6% rise in oil prices following a heavy exchange of strikes. Trump’s on-record assertion that the ceasefire has ended increases the probability of additional kinetic events against energy infrastructure and shipping, reinforcing upward pressure on Brent and WTI and widening risk premiums on Middle East-exposed assets. Gold is likely to catch further safe-haven flows, while airline, shipping, and petrochemical equities will trade under renewed stress. Emerging-market importers of energy, especially in South Asia and Africa, face worsening trade balances and inflation risks if prices remain elevated.

In the next 24–48 hours, watch for: (1) visible changes in U.S. and Iranian force postures in and around the Gulf, including air defense alerts and naval movements; (2) any public clarification or contradiction from official U.S. government channels regarding Trump’s 'ceasefire is over' statement; (3) reported attacks on tankers, pipelines, or export terminals that would validate market fears of a broader energy war; and (4) signals from Qatar and other mediators on whether talks are collapsing or morphing into crisis-management channels without a formal truce framework.

**MARKET IMPACT ASSESSMENT:**
Declaration that the ceasefire is over, combined with ongoing strikes, raises near-term risk of new attacks on Gulf energy and shipping assets; supports and may extend the current >6% spike in crude, lifts gold and defense names, pressures airlines and EM importers, and increases volatility in dollar, rial, and regional FX.
