Outrage erupted Wednesday morning when President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire in Iran is "over."
Trump announced the three-week-old peace deal had collapsed when asked about fresh attacks at a NATO summit in Turkey, according to multiple reports.
"To me, I think it's over," Trump said. "I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum."
Retired Admiral James Stavridis, the former NATO Supreme Allied Commander, cautioned Americans Tuesday night that the U.S. "launched pretty significant strikes," and warned, "This is the last turn before the tunnel for the Iranians in terms of Trump's patience."
Business journalist Neeraj Bajpai noted Wednesday morning that "any sense of calm in the region has evaporated almost entirely."

"I’m so glad that Trump ran for president to end forever foreign wars otherwise I might start thinking this war that is not a war that we won like 40 times is starting to turn into another forever foreign war in the Middle East," she wrote. "Good thing Pete Hegseth, Secretary of the Department of Defense, I mean War, is headed to Israel to take orders from, I mean ask for advice, on how to totally wipe out Iran, I mean bring peace."
The former MAGA diehard added, "Because this is exactly what we all voted for when we said Make America Great Again."
Sarah Longwell, founder of The Bulwark, shared Greene's skepticism.
"Don’t worry guys," she wrote. "There will be a new 'deal' imminent on Sunday evening, just before the markets open."
We are back to bombing Iran during the ceasefire for the Iran war that is not a war because Iran bombed a vessel for crossing the Strait of Hormuz that they don’t control yet apparently control.
Not sure how they bombed the vessel because we have totally and completely…
