Iran’s armed forces have warned that conflict with America and Israel could resume. Iran says the situation is becoming such that conflict is likely to flare up again, and has accused Washington of failing to honor agreements. This statement was given by Mohammad Jafar Asadi, deputy of Iran’s military headquarters, which was released by Fars News Agency. Asadi said that recent statements and actions by American officials show that America is not serious about diplomatic efforts.
There may be war with America again
He also alleged that America’s stance is largely being decided keeping the media in mind, so that the fall in oil prices can be stopped and it can be shown to be different from the current situation. Asadi said that Iran’s army is on high alert and is fully prepared to deal with any kind of situation. He warned America that it should avoid any “new action”.
This statement has come at a time when former US President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s new proposal for talks. This proposal was sent through Pakistan, information about which was given by Iran’s official news agency IRNA. Trump said he was “not satisfied” with the proposal, although he did not provide further details.
Tension increases on the Strait of Hormuz
The US has warned shipping companies that they could face sanctions if they pay Iran for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. This warning has been issued by the US Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), which has further increased the tension between Washington and Tehran.
Normally about 20% of the world’s oil and natural gas trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz. But in the current situation, this route has been affected to a great extent due to Iran’s attacks on ships and threats.
Our army is fully prepared – Iran
It is being told that Iran is giving safe passage to some ships near its maritime border and is also charging fees for this. Given the situation, tension in the region is continuously increasing and there is a possibility of it having an impact on the global energy supply.
