U.S. not committed to pacts, 'renewed conflict likely': Iran
A senior Iranian military officer stated that renewed fighting with the U.S. is 'likely,' citing a lack of U.S. commitment to agreements. This declaration followed President Trump's dissatisfaction with an Iranian negotiating proposal, despite a ceasefire holding since April 8. One round of peace talks in Pakistan had failed, and Iran delivered a new draft proposal without detailing its contents. The U.S. has also warned shipping firms about potential sanctions for making payments to Iran for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, indicating ongoing tensions and a fragile peace in the region.
