Iran warns any new war with US could outlast previous conflict

Iran has warned that any renewed conflict with the United States could last longer than the previous round of fighting, following President Donald Trump's statement that he still had targets to strike in Iran. The warning came amid escalating threats from both sides. Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said a future war could be prolonged and that the American president would not dictate its timing or conclusion. Trump suggested the US could strike remaining sites, including a suspected underground nuclear complex, within 10 minutes, while reports indicated he discussed potential action with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Iranian officials, including Revolutionary Guards spokesman Hossein Mohebbi, warned of no geographical limits in any conflict, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran remained prepared for both defense and diplomacy. The US has imposed a naval counter-blockade on Iranian ports, and regional states like the UAE are bracing for potential escalation.
