Renewed war with US still possible, says Iran
A senior Iranian military officer said renewed fighting with the US is 'likely', hours after President Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Iran's negotiating proposal. The war between the US and Iran has been on hold since April 8, with one failed round of peace talks having taken place in Pakistan.
A senior Iranian military officer, Mohammad Jafar Asadi, said a renewed conflict between Iran and the US is likely, citing the US's lack of commitment to promises or agreements. Iran delivered a new draft proposal to mediator Pakistan on Thursday, but President Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the offer. The war, launched by the US and Israel in late February, has been on hold since April 8. The US has imposed a counter-blockade on Iranian ports, while Iran has maintained a stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz. The US announced major arms sales to its Middle East allies, including a $4 billion Patriot missile deal with Qatar and nearly $1 billion in precision weapons systems to Israel. The war's economic toll is deepening in Iran, with inflation surging past 50 percent.
