President Donald Trump has declared his ceasefire with Iran “over” and ordered new strikes on the terrorist regime there. The reversal is welcome, though it comes only after weeks of Tehran exploiting a flawed deal that should not have been trusted in the first place.

Speaking at the NATO summit in Turkey on July 8, Trump called Iran’s leaders “lying scum.” He warned that Iran was led by “vicious, violent people, and if they had a nuclear weapon, they’d use it.”
