President Trump on Wednesday appeared to announce the end of the US-Iran ceasefire, declaring that Iran has “taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them.”

“Now they will have to pay the price!!!” Trump said.

Fox’s Trey Yingst reports that Trump said he “may keep going” with strikes, even targeting Iran’s infrastructure.

This comes after Trump promised a response to Iran shooting down a US Army Apache helicopter on Monday.

“The United States must, of necessity, respond to this attack,” Trump said.

US Central Command later announced it had launched "self-defense strikes" against Iran. The mission is a proportional response to unjustified Iranian aggression,” CENTCOM said.

US Central Command said in another statement on Tuesday night that US forces carried out strikes on "Iranian air defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz with precision munitions from U.S. Air Force and Navy fighter jets."

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed self-defense strikes against Iran, June 9, at the Commander in Chief’s direction in response to yesterday’s downing of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter.

CENTCOM forces struck Iranian air defense, ground control stations, and surveillance radar sites near the Strait of Hormuz with precision munitions from U.S. Air Force and Navy fighter jets. The operation was a proportional response to recent attacks on U.S. forces and international commercial ships transiting regional waters.

U.S. forces remain vigilant and postured to defend against unjustified Iranian aggression.

Per Axios's Barak Ravid, Iran retaliated by firing four ballistic missiles and several drones at US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.

Trump said on Wednesday morning that Iran has been "completely defeated," adding, "They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!"

Iran’s Military is a complete and total mess. Much of it, like their Navy and Air Force, doesn’t even exist anymore - They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action. The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!! They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump further blasted the leftwing media, declaring his blockade in the Strait of Hormuz as "the most successful Blockade in the history of Naval Warfare."

"Iran is doing ZERO business, not paying their military, or any of their bills, and quickly becoming a FAILED NATION! Lots of oil is getting out. Praise be to Allah!" Trump said.
