Iran War Likely to Restart Soon, Tehran Official Warns after Trump Announces US Will Be 'Better Off' Without Peace Deal

A senior Iranian official warned that a potential restart of the war between the United States and Iran is likely, following President Trump's rejection of a peace deal. Mohammad Jafar Asadi stated that Iran hopes the U.S. will test its military strength on the ground, particularly in the Strait of Hormuz. This comes amid concerns about the 'soft closure' of the Strait, pushing oil prices above $100 per barrel.
