A senior Iranian official warned that war with the US is 'likely' to resume after President Donald Trump suggested the US might be 'better off' without a peace deal. Tensions remain high despite a temporary ceasefire that took effect on April 8.
A senior Iranian official, Mohammad Jafar Asadi, said renewed conflict between Iran and the US is likely despite a temporary ceasefire. The ceasefire took effect on April 8, but key disputes about sanctions, shipping routes, and Iran's nuclear weapon program remain unresolved. Asadi is a top figure in Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. President Donald Trump said the US might be 'better off' without a peace deal, following Iran's latest proposal, which he deemed insufficient. Iranian officials are demanding concessions, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting a US-led naval blockade.
