Iran warns of US attack, sets conditions for reopening Strait of Hormuz

Iran warned Sunday that it has learned of a planned major US attack, allegedly approved by regional countries during a meeting in Europe, threatening to target all nearby American bases and interests with prolonged, effective strikes. The Iranian statement also cautioned regional nations that continuing "double standards" would make them "accomplices" to aggression, losing any expectation of restraint from Iran's military. No details were provided on the intelligence behind the warning, while President Trump told Fox News he is in "decision mode" regarding Iran. Trump outlined three options—sanctions, a deal, or military action—and did not rule out meeting Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in New York. Separately, Iran's chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf demanded an end to the war, unfreezing of assets, and lifting of the US naval blockade as conditions to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
