JAKARTA - US President Donald Trump expressed his anger by saying the agreement through a memorandum of understanding with Iran "is over," following a series of attacks in the region.

"It's a waste of time just dealing with them," Trump said at the NATO summit, reported by CNN, Wednesday, July 8.

This is the clearest indication so far that the Trump deal is almost certainly a total failure. The latest statement by the US President came after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it launched attacks on US military targets in Bahrain and Kuwait in response to US attacks on Iran.

Trump slammed Iran as a "rogue and sick" party, at a time when the initial deal with Tehran seemed to be on the verge of failure.

Speaking at the opening of the NATO summit in Turkey, Trump called the country a "dirty player" for targeting commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, which violated the ceasefire.

Trump said the US was wasting its time by talking to Iran, and voiced a desire to "take decisive action" instead of pursuing diplomacy.

"We have to get rid of their cancer, their cancer," he said. "And do you know what to do? Cancer must be picked up early and that's my view."
