08.07.2026The Day Trump Declared the Iran Ceasefire Over

The day was dominated by the rapid escalation of US-Iran tensions. Overnight, headlines reported US strikes on Iran, with Iran threatening a 'crushing response' and launching retaliatory attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain. By morning, President Trump declared the ceasefire 'over' during the NATO summit in Ankara, calling negotiations a waste of time and claiming Iran's military was 'crushed.' Simultaneously, the Garden Helsinki scandal deepened as new emails revealed former mayor Jan Vapaavuori asked PM Orpo to 'crush' state funding for the project, and Orpo's aide confirmed the PM knew of the finance ministry's negative stance. Opposition calls for Orpo's resignation continued. Other stories included the sudden death of Yle's editor-in-chief Panu Pokkinen, a heatwave warning, and NATO's €70 billion pledge to Ukraine.
