  "account": "Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared Iran's unwavering stance against the United States and Israel, dismissing US President Donald Trump's offer of a seven-day ceasefire and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Pezeshkian emphasized Iran's dedication to the cause, stating that the country would endure \"until our last breath\" and serve its people with honesty. The Iranian Military's Senior Spokesperson, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, reiterated Iran's intention to \"suppress\" the enemy, calling Iran the \"most experienced country in the world in asymmetric warfare\" and warning the US against interfering in the Strait of Hormuz. If the US obstructs, Shekarchi threatened, Iran would retaliate with force, effectively closing the waterway to all ships without prior Iran-approved routes. Pezeshkian also dismissed Iran's trust in negotiations with the US, citing previous talks leading to attacks and sanctions. He further accused the US and Israel of driving regional countries into conflict, believing the Iranian system would collapse swiftly. Despite Trump's rejection of Iran's proposal, tensions in the West Asia region may escalate following the US midterm elections.",
  "summary": "Pezeshkian said the US and Israel had dragged regional countries into the war, believing that the Iranian system “would collapse within days”.",
