On Sunday, Iran's army warned that a Middle Eastern conflict could escalate further if the United States resumes attacks on the Islamic republic. Speaking ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington, Mohammad Akraminia stated, "If the Americans fall for the Zionists' deception and continue their war through air strikes, it will expand further."
Meanwhile, Tehran remains committed to continuing talks, as indicated by reports that Iran has responded to a proposal from Pakistan and Qatar to resume negotiations with the United States. President Joe Biden and his administration have called for diplomatic engagement amid tensions.
Netanyahu vowed a "very, very forceful" response should Iran attack Israel directly or indirectly, adding it would be “a terrible mistake.” The Israeli Prime Minister highlighted these concerns in an interview with Fox News’s Maria Bartiromo.
In a related development, reports suggest that Iran has halted its Middle Eastern attacks as the U.S. held back from further escalation. This came after Washington paused its campaign and concern over dwindling munitions limited aggressive plans for increased conflict.
