Iranian official says conflict with US ‘likely’ to restart after Trump rejects proposal Trump said on Friday that he was “not satisfied” with Iran’s latest proposal, without detailing which elements he opposes, while the White House refused to comment on the state of the negotiations
A senior Iranian official has warned that a renewed conflict with the United States is “likely” following Washington’s rejection of Tehran’s latest diplomatic proposal, according to Iranian state media reports on Saturday.
The remarks, reported by Iran’s Fars News Agency, were attributed to Mohammad Jafar Asadi, a senior commander within Iran’s central military structure. He indicated that tensions could escalate after recent developments in stalled negotiations.
President Donald Trump said on Friday he was “not satisfied” with Iran’s proposal, though he did not specify which aspects were deemed unacceptable. The White House declined to provide further details on the status of ongoing diplomatic efforts.
The comments come amid heightened regional tensions and continued military posturing.
