Iran's parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Galibaf has stated that Iran will not surrender if the United States restarts attacks, emphasizing that the Iranian military has effectively used the ceasefire to rebuild its strength. Galibaf indicated that 'obvious and hidden moves by the enemy' suggest a new round of war is being sought, despite Iran's preparedness.
Tehran's Warning of Escalation
Tehran's Revolutionary Guards warned that if aggression against Iran is repeated by the US and Israel, the conflict will expand 'beyond the region.' This statement comes amid heightened tensions and a fragile ceasefire that has allowed both sides to reassess their positions.
White House Briefing and Trump's Stance
A White House briefing by JD Vance mentioned that 'a lot of good progress has been made' in recent negotiations with Tehran, though acknowledging that the outcome remains uncertain. President Donald Trump previously claimed he was 'an hour away' from ordering new strikes on Iran to force a deal and has stated he is 'not in hurry' to conclude the conflict, prioritizing mission objectives over a timeline.
The US military has enforced a total Iran blockade, rerouting 89 commercial vessels. The situation remains volatile as both sides signal readiness for further confrontation while engaging in diplomatic efforts.
