Iran’s armed forces have said it is “likely” that the US-Israel war on the country will resume, claiming that “evidence shows the US is not committed to any agreements or treaties.”
Mohammad Jafar Asadi, deputy of the military headquarters, made the remarks in a statement carried by Iran’s Fars news agency. He alleged that recent actions and statements from US officials indicate a lack of commitment to diplomatic understandings.
“The actions and statements of US officials are primarily media-driven, aimed first at preventing a drop in oil prices and second at extricating themselves from the mess they have created,” Asadi said.
He added that Iran’s armed forces remain on high alert and are ready to respond to any escalation.
“The armed forces are fully prepared for any new adventures or foolishness from the Americans,” he said.
Iran’s comments come amid heightened tensions and continued uncertainty over the future of engagements involving the United States and Israel.
