U.S. President Donald Trump publicly backtracked on the temporary June ceasefire agreement reached with Iran, describing the short-term truce under the 'Islamabad Memorandum' as a 'waste of time.' Speaking at an election rally in Mississippi overnight Monday–Tuesday, Trump addressed the ongoing military confrontation with Tehran, stating: 'We announced a short ceasefire... I didn't like it very much.' He added that while he viewed the agreement as a waste of time, he deferred to military and policy experts at the time. The President's recent remarks contrast sharply with his initial praise in June, when he had touted the Pakistani-brokered preliminary memorandum of understanding as a historic step toward peace in the Middle East. The June agreement quickly collapsed after failing to achieve its key objectives, including structured nuclear negotiations and long-term regional de-escalation. The statements come amid reports from U.S. officials indicating that a new round of military strikes targeting Iranian sites may be imminent following the upcoming U.S. midterm elections on November 3. In response, Tehran has warned of an 'unexpected' counterstrike against any potential U.S. or Israeli attack, threatening to expand its target perimeter to include additional U.S. regional bases and strategic undersea internet cables.
