US President Donald Trump has insisted that the ceasefire between "Israel" and Iran remains “in effect”, despite claiming violations by both sides.

Meanwhile, the US State Department said that the conditions are now favorable for resuming talks with Iran regarding its nuclear program.

The department also conveyed that Trump expressed a commitment to "not pursue regime change policies," affirming that "Iran’s future belongs to the Iranian people."

Trump expressed particular frustration with "Israel" for dropping “a load of bombs” after agreeing to the truce and reportedly called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to urge him to halt any further attacks.

Following the call, Netanyahu’s office confirmed that "Israel" had carried out one final strike near Tehran, targeting a radar installation in response to earlier Iranian missile attacks, which it described as breaches of the ceasefire and which Iran denied.

“In the call, President Trump expressed his deep appreciation for Israel, saying it had achieved all the objectives of the war. He also expressed confidence in the stability of the ceasefire,” the statement read.

Meanwhile, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani said Doha had played a role in brokering the ceasefire and expressed hope that “it will hold and diplomacy will prevail.”

Trump says China may continue purchasing oil from Iran

In a related context, Trump said that China may continue purchasing oil from Iran, a move seen as a potential easing of pressure on Tehran amid previously imposed US sanctions meant to punish such trade.

"China can now continue to purchase Oil from Iran. Hopefully, they will be purchasing plenty from the U.S., also," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform while en route to a NATO summit in The Hague.

China accounts for over 90% of Iran’s oil exports

China remains the primary buyer of Iranian oil, providing a vital economic lifeline for Tehran as it grapples with the impact of sweeping international sanctions. According to the analytics firm Kpler, Beijing accounts for over 90% of Iran’s oil exports.

In April, China imported around 1.3 million barrels of Iranian crude per day, a slight dip from a five-month high in March.

Despite this, Washington last month introduced new sanctions targeting Iranian oil shipments to China, as part of Trump’s ongoing "maximum pressure" strategy against Tehran.

Beijing, meanwhile, has condemned recent US airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and urged all regional actors, “especially Israel”, to de-escalate tensions.

It has also called for a political resolution to support the fragile ceasefire currently in place.
