Iran has said that a renewed war with the United States of America is likely to occur soon.
A senior Iranian military officer, Mohammad Jafar Asadi, made this known on Saturday, hours after President Donald Trump said he was not satisfied with a new Iranian negotiating proposal.
DAILY POST recalls that Iran delivered the draft to mediator Pakistan on Thursday evening.
The crisis, which started on February 28, has been on hold since April 8, with one failed round of peace talks having taken place in Pakistan since then.
“At this moment I’m not satisfied with what they’re offering,” Trump told reporters, blaming stalled talks on “tremendous discord” within Iran’s leadership.
Reacting, Asadi said, “Renewed conflict between Iran and the United States is likely”, in quotes published by Iran’s Fars news agency.
On his part, Iran’s judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei had said on Friday that his country had never shied away from negotiations, adding that it would not accept an imposition of peace terms.
