ANSAIndependentProgressiveFactual 70Objective 603 days agoIran has accused the United States of preparing for a total regional conflict and warned that countries acting as shields for Washington would be destroyed by war. The head of the Central Command of the Iranian armed forces stated that the U.S. is moving rapidly toward a regional war, a dangerous strategy aimed at expanding dominance across the entire region. Meanwhile, there is no clear indication that Israel will participate in the intense attacks the U.S. plans to launch against Iran this weekend. CNN reported that while discussions about attacking Iranian energy infrastructure had taken place with Israeli officials, it remains unclear if Israel will be directly involved. Iranian lawmakers emphasized that Iran has won the war against the U.S. and Israel but must consolidate this victory. A senior Iranian security official said Iran has prepared a comprehensive plan to respond to any potential American aggression, including targeting Israeli and U.S. energy infrastructure in the region. Additionally, a tanker was struck by an unidentified projectile near the entrance to the Strait of Hormuz, causing damage to its engine room, though no casualties or environmental impact were yet

Iran war: Trump sounds dangerous againUS President Donald Trump has issued another ultimatum to Iran, demanding that they open the Strait of Hormuz to shipping by Tuesday, warning that failure to do so could lead to 'decapitation.' Meanwhile, a commercial vessel was attacked in the strait, reportedly hit by an unknown projectile off the coast of Oman, according to the UK Maritime Trade Organisation (UKMTO). The incident occurred amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran since the start of their conflict in late February. Trump described current negotiations as the 'last chance' to avoid escalation, while Iran has repeatedly rejected calls to return to pre-war conditions. Despite Trump's threats, including the potential for a major military strike, diplomatic talks remain unclear, and Iran has focused on bilateral discussions with Oman regarding a temporary shipping corridor. The conflict, which began in early March, has disrupted oil and gas exports through the strategic waterway, driving up global energy prices.

Iran war: Trump announces new round of talksUS President Donald Trump announced new talks with Iran starting Monday after temporarily halting further attacks on the country. Trump stated that discussions would take place 'in the form of negotiations' but did not provide details on location or participants. The Iranian government described the talks as a 'exchange of views.' Trump claimed that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar had asked the US to pause attacks due to potential agreement outlines, though Iran denied making such a request. Earlier, Trump had threatened significant strikes against Iran, calling the planned attack 'the largest since World War II.' Despite these developments, no resolution has emerged in the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran, with key issues including Iran’s blocking of the Strait of Hormuz and its nuclear program.
