Iranโs armed forces have warned that hostilities with the United States and Israel could resume, saying it is “likely”ย that the conflict will reignite and accusing Washington of failing to honour agreements.
The remarks were made by Mohammad Jafar Asadi, deputy at Iranโs military headquarters, in a statement carried by the Fars news agency. He claimed recent actions and statements by US officials suggest a lack of genuine commitment to diplomatic efforts.
Asadi said US messaging appears largely driven by media considerations, aimed at preventing a decline in oil prices and distancing itself from the situation it has created.
He added that Iranโs military remains on high alert and is fully prepared to respond to any escalation, warning against what he described as possible โnew adventuresโ by the US.
His statement comes after former US President Donald Trump rejected Iranโs latest proposal for talks, which had been conveyed through mediators in Pakistan, according to Iranโs state run IRNA news agency. Trump later said he was โnot satisfiedโ with the proposal but did not provide further details.
The tensions come despite a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran that has held for the past three weeks.
