Meanwhile, a Qatari delegation visited Iran on Friday for talks aimed at easing tensions and easing navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue the ‘dialogue,’” Trump wrote Friday morning on Truth Social.
“We agreed to do that, but the United States made it clear to them that the ceasefire was over!”
Earlier in the day, President Trump also responded to reports that Iran was planning to assassinate him.
Writing in Truth Social, he said the U.S. military would “completely devastate and destroy entire areas” of the country in retaliation for such attacks.
American media, including the Wall Street Journal, reported this week that Israel shared intelligence with the United States that Iran had planned to assassinate the U.S. president.
At the funeral of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, voices calling for Trump’s death were openly raised.
Khamenei, who was buried this week, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on his residence in Tehran on February 28, the first day of Iran’s war with the United States and Israel.
No new attacks were reported on Friday after fighting broke out in the Gulf region earlier this week, marking the worst fighting between the United States and Iran since the two countries signed a temporary deal in June.
Three ships were attacked while passing through Omani waters along the route recommended by the United States. Iran has repeatedly said the only “safe” passage is a separate route through its territorial waters.
The overall progress came last month when the United States and Iran agreed to a 14-point memorandum of understanding aimed at extending the ceasefire and ending the conflict “on all fronts.”
As part of the agreement, Iran and Oman must hold talks with other Gulf countries “to define future administration and maritime services” in the strait.
During the conflict, Iran sought to assert sovereignty over the strait, including by establishing a “Persian Gulf Straits Authority” that would administer “safe passage permits.”
Iran’s Fars News Agency reported that under the new agreement with the United States, the strait will ultimately be managed by Iran in cooperation with Oman, including a “service fee” for ships transiting the waterway.
