US Warns of Renewed War as Iran Deal Negotiations Falter
The United States has issued warnings about the possibility of renewed conflict with Iran as negotiations for a peace deal remain elusive. President Donald Trump has not made a decision following a two-hour meeting in the White House Situation Room.
The deal's conditions include preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime route. Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth attended a major defense summit in Singapore, emphasizing the U.S. military's readiness.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baqaei, has pushed back against Trump's conditions, stating that no final agreement has been reached. The negotiations are complicated by ongoing tensions in Lebanon, where Israeli forces have advanced, and Iran's support for Hezbollah.
The situation remains tense, with both sides continuing to communicate but no clear resolution in sight.
