Iran has cautioned that a renewed conflict with the United States could extend beyond the duration of the previous war, following President Donald Trump's threat to continue strikes against remaining targets in Iran. This warning comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve the Middle East conflict, which have been marred by repeated threats from both the US and Israel to resume bombardments as they navigate crucial elections.

Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia of Iran's state television stated that the future war could last longer than its predecessor, emphasizing that President Trump would not have the authority to determine the war's timing or conditions for its conclusion.
