Iran military official warns renewed conflict with US ‘likely:’ Report

Asadi said Iran’s military is fully prepared to respond as Trump rejected Tehran’s latest proposal and oil prices stayed about 50% above prewar levels.

  • On Saturday, senior Iranian military official Mohammad Jafar Asadi warned that renewed conflict with the United States is "likely," hours after President Donald Trump stated he was "not satisfied" with Iran's latest peace proposal.
  • Diplomatic efforts stalled amid "tremendous discord" within Iran, according to Trump, while the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports halted $6 billion in oil exports and inflation surged past 50 per cent, deepening domestic hardship.
  • Iran delivered a draft proposal to Pakistan on Thursday seeking to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced "new rules" over nearly 2,000 kilometres of coastline at Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei's directive.
  • Despite the Gulf ceasefire, Washington approved major arms sales late Friday to regional allies, including a $4 billion Patriot missile deal with Qatar and nearly $1 billion in precision weapons systems for Israel.
  • Lawmakers are debating whether Trump breached the 60-day limit for seeking congressional war authorization. Administration officials argue the ceasefire pauses this deadline, a claim Democrats dispute.
