Trump on Iran ceasefire: 'I think it is over, they're scum, liars' "I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them any more, they're scum," US President Trump said at the ongoing Nato summit in Ankara when asked if the truce with Tehran was now finished in the wake of renewed strikes between the US and Iran. "They're scum, they're sick people, they're led by sick people, and they're vicious, violent people. And if they had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it. "As far as I'm concerned, it's over." Trump said he would speak to businessman-turned-negotiator Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, who have been dealing with the Iranians, but insisted it was up to Tehran to return to the table.
