President Donald Trump announced that the three-week-old ceasefire involving Iran was effectively over after being asked about renewed attacks during a NATO summit in Turkey.Trump said he believed the agreement had ended and expressed frustration with Iran, saying he no longer wanted to negotiate with its leaders.The announcement came amid reports of escalating military activity and growing instability in the region.Retired Admiral James Stavridis had previously warned that recent U.S.strikes were significant and suggested that Iran was nearing the limits of Trump's patience.Business journalist Neeraj Bajpai also observed that the sense of stability in the region had largely disappeared.

The renewed tensions prompted criticism from former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a longtime Trump ally who publicly questioned whether the administration was abandoning its campaign pledge to avoid prolonged military involvement overseas.

In a series of sarcastic posts on X, Greene argued that the situation resembled another prolonged Middle East conflict despite repeated assurances that it was not becoming one.

She also criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and suggested the administration's actions contradicted the goals promoted under the Make America Great Again movement.

Sarah Longwell, founder of The Bulwark, echoed skepticism about the administration's handling of the crisis, joking that another diplomatic agreement would likely be announced before financial markets reopened.

The article focuses on the political fallout among conservatives as renewed conflict with Iran raises questions about Trump's foreign policy commitments and campaign promises to reduce U.S.involvement in overseas wars.
