War “likely” to resume as US non-committal to agreements: Iran

Iran’s military headquarters has issued a warning that the resumption of war between Iran and the United States is “likely,” stating that available evidence suggests the US is not committed to any agreements or treaties.

Military peparations are underway to respond if the war resumes.

Iran’s armed forces have also warned that renewed conflict with the United States and Israel remains possible, reiterating that “evidence shows the U.S. is not committed to any agreements or treaties.”

Mohammad Jafar Asadi, deputy at the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, made the remarks in a statement carried by Iran’s Fars News Agency. He said recent US actions and statements indicate a lack of commitment to diplomatic understandings.

Asadi added that Iran’s military is fully prepared for any escalation, noting that strategic assessments suggest tensions could rise regardless of Washington’s actions. He emphasized that Iran is ready to respond to any hostile move.

Iranian officials believe they showed sufficient flexibility during the first round of negotiations held in Islamabad and later during ceasefire discussions.

However, they argue that the United States has not shown a reciprocal approach. According to Iranian officials, each time Iran has softened its position, the U.S. has responded with increased pressure and more aggressive demands. There are also unconfirmed reports that Iran reduced some of its demands in a proposal that President Trump ultimately rejected, including provisions related to lifting the blockade.

Instead, Iranian officials say the status of the Strait of Hormuz and sanctions relief must be addressed first before moving on to other major issues, such as the nuclear matter.

Iranian officials suggest that US demands are not aimed at genuine negotiation but instead amount to a demand for surrender, something they describe as “unacceptable.”

US President Donald Trump has maintained a hardline position, stating that Iran must not be allowed to acquire nuclear weapons due to serious security risks for the Middle East, Israel and Europe.

He rejected Iran’s latest proposal, calling it “unacceptable,” and warned that all options, including potential military action, remain on the table.

Speaking at the White House, Trump at an event in Florida, he said recent communications had failed to produce meaningful progress. “We just had a conversation with Iran, let’s see what happens. But I would say that I am not happy,” he said. “They’re asking for things that I can’t agree to.” Iran reportedly submitted its updated proposal through mediators, though key details remain unclear.

Trump reiterated that Iran must abandon any pursuit of nuclear weapons and suggested that military options remain available if diplomacy fails. “There are the options: Do you want to go blast the hell out of them and finish them forever, or do we want to try and make a deal? I mean, those are the options,” he said, adding that he would “prefer not” to pursue further strikes “on a human basis.”

Asked whether he would move forward with additional strikes, Trump said: “I’d prefer not. On a human basis, I’d prefer not, but that’s the option.”

Trump blamed internal fractures within the Iranian regime for the lack of progress, describing them as “very argumentative with each other” and “very confused.”

“Right now, we have negotiations going on. They’re not getting there, they are very disjointed — they’re extremely disjointed,” he said. “They’re not able to get along with each other as leaders. They don’t know who the leader is.”

“They come back. One says one thing, one says another,” he added.

“Their military has been defeated,” he said. “If we left right now, it would take them 20 years to build back that country. But we’re not satisfied at this.”

It remains unclear whether the latest proposal even mentioned Iran’s enriched uranium or weapons program. Meanwhile, US insisted that Iran should transfer enriched uranium to Washington while Russia and China both have offered to take that.

The White House declined to divulge details.
