Trump Says the 'Phase of Diplomacy' Is Over After Iran Calls for a Ceasefire
Jul 8, 2026
The Foreign Desk Editor-in-Chief Lisa Daftari says US President Donald Trump’s phase of diplomacy could be over after the US took swift action against Iran’s latest provocation.
“Perhaps for the White House, this phase of diplomacy is now over,” Ms Daftari told Sky News Digital Presenter James Bolt.
“Maybe we’ll take a hiatus, and then Donald Trump will go back to the same rhetoric as wanting to strike a deal at least maintaining that position for a while.”
