Iran warns Trump that new war could outlast previous conflict

Iran warned the United States on Sunday that renewed hostilities could be prolonged, following fresh threats from Donald Trump to strike additional nuclear sites. Tehran stated Trump would not dictate the timing or conditions of any conflict's end. Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said a new war could be longer than the previous one, referencing the 40-day campaign that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and thousands of civilians. A ceasefire in April and June agreement collapsed, with strikes resuming this summer. Trump said Saturday that one or two sites remain, possibly referencing Mount Kolang near Natanz, suspected of housing underground nuclear facilities. Iran denies seeking atomic weapons, and reports suggest a possible short campaign after Tuesday's midterm elections.
