Negotiations to reach a final deal had been due to start after the days-long funeral for Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed on February 28.
The funeral, which ends Thursday, was supposed to be a period of lower tensions.
The talks were meant to focus on the toughest matters, including fully reopening the strait and rolling back Tehran’s disputed nuclear programme.
But now that has been thrown into the air with Donald Trump saying “for me, I think it’s over,” when asked about the ceasefire. “It’s just a waste of time dealing with them,” he added.
Meanwhile, Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf wrote on X: “The era of bullying and extortion is over. It leads nowhere. We don’t fold.”
