Iran warns new war with US could outlast previous conflicts

Iran warned Sunday that any renewed war with the United States could last longer than previous conflicts, following President Donald Trump's threat to strike remaining targets in the country. The warning came amid escalating tensions in the Middle East war that began Feb 28. Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said the American president would not dictate the timing or conditions of any future conflict's conclusion, according to Iranian state television. Trump told reporters the US could strike one or two remaining sites, including a suspected underground nuclear complex, within 10 minutes, and reiterated threats at an Iowa campaign rally. Iranian officials, including Revolutionary Guards spokesman Hossein Mohebbi, warned of no geographical limitations in a conflict with America. Diplomatic efforts continue, with Iran's security chief receiving a letter from US Vice President JD Vance seeking talks, while regional states like the UAE brace for potential escalation.
