Iran warns US of war if proposal rejected, citing readiness for conflict

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi warned the United States on Sunday that Tehran's forces would "rain down hell" if Washington rejects its proposal to end hostilities across all fronts. Araghchi said the US election results had slowed regional negotiations and that Washington must choose between de-escalation or catastrophic warfare. He stated Tehran's two-day proposal stands, demanding an end to war on all fronts, while US President Donald Trump called further military action "highly unlikely" if talks progress. The conflict has reached a stalemate eight months after it began, with little military activity or diplomatic progress. Iranian attacks on oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz have continued, while Trump cited Iran's 301% inflation as evidence of its financial decline.
