Iran warns new US attack would widen conflict

economictimes.indiatimes.com —

Iran's army warned Saturday that any new US attack would spread the conflict wider, following threats of further military action from America and Israel amid crucial elections in both countries. The warning comes as Qatari mediators hold talks in Tehran and US Vice President JD Vance reportedly sent a letter to Iran's security chief to revive negotiations. Iranian officials confirmed receiving the letter but have not responded. The Middle East war began in late February with US-Israeli strikes that killed Iran's supreme leader. Hostilities have focused on the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has blockaded, while the US has countered with a blockade of Iranian ports.
