Iran Warns of War if US Strikes Again
Iran's military warned of war spreading beyond the region. This warning came after Trump threatened a large strike on Iran.
Trump said he would hit Iran hard if no deal is reached soon. Iran's Revolutionary Guards and armed forces both issued the warning.
But Trump also said he thinks Iran still wants to talk. Trump and Vice President JD Vance say progress is being made.
Reports say Gulf leaders from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE asked Trump to pause a planned strike. Trump agreed and held off.
Iran then put forward a new 14-point proposal. It covers issues like sanctions relief and frozen funds.
It also asks for an end to a maritime blockade and US force withdrawals. Yet talks have not produced any firm results so far. Iranian civilians are preparing for a possible new conflict.
