Iran's Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the IRGC, reports that Tehran now considers the scenario of a renewed war with the United States and Israel to be more likely than the continuation of negotiations. The agency states that in the event of renewed American and Israeli strikes, Iran is prepared to respond and unleash what it calls "unforgettable hours of hell." This latest warning aligns with a series of recent statements from Iranian state media blaming President Trump's "maximalism" for the deadlock and declaring there is no clear prospect for fruitful talks.
