Iran Warns Trump That New War Could Outlast Previous Conflict

Iran warned the United States on Sunday that any renewed hostilities could last longer than the previous conflict, responding to Donald Trump's claim he could neutralize Iranian nuclear sites "in ten minutes." Trump told reporters in Florida that one or two nuclear facilities remained, including a suspected underground complex near Natanz, which Iran denies exists while insisting its nuclear program is civilian. Iran's military spokesman said Trump would not dictate the timing or conditions of any ceasefire this time. Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei threatened "immediate, powerful and limitless" retaliation, including against data centers and undersea cables in the Strait of Hormuz. Qatar is mediating, with Iran's foreign minister urging diplomacy while saying Tehran remains ready for both defense and negotiation.
