CNN -- The Iran situation escalated overnight. President Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire "over" following attacks on several commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, and the U.S. launched retaliatory strikes on Iranian military sites.

Here's the latest

• US-Iran truce uncertain: President Donald Trump said the US will “very probably hit” Iran again tonight after the two sides traded strikes overnight. Trump, currently at the NATO summit in Turkey, earlier said he believed the memorandum of understanding with Tehran “is over,” but that negotiators can “keep talking if they want.”

• Strikes traded: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said they attacked American military targets in Bahrain and Kuwait after the US launched strikes and reimposed sanctions on Iranian oil sales, following attacks on ships near the Strait of Hormuz.

• NATO summit: Trump adopted a more positive tone toward NATO following meetings today, saying leaders had a “great meeting” as he spoke alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. NATO’s chief has touted increased European and Canadian defense spending — a major focus for Trump.
