Iran warns Trump that new war could be 'longer' than previous conflict

boursorama.com (French) —

Iran warned the United States on Sunday that renewed hostilities could trigger a war "longer than the previous one," following fresh threats from Donald Trump to target one or two remaining sites in the country. The warning came as tensions escalate between the two nations. Trump stated he could act "in ten minutes" and referenced the February 28 US offensive, while Tehran's army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said Trump would not dictate the timing or conditions of any halt. The previous conflict killed senior Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and thousands of civilians over nearly 40 days of Israeli-American bombing. A ceasefire in April and a June agreement collapsed this summer, with strikes resuming. Axios reported Trump spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about intensifying operations, though Trump declined details. Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned of "immediate, powerful retaliation," while Revolutionary Guards claimed targets were identified, though Qatari-mediated negotiations continue.
