  "account": "Iranian leaders are convinced that a new US strike on their country is imminent, with officials warning Washington against launching further attacks. Iranian military spokesman Mohammad Akrami-Nia accused the United States of aiming to destroy Iran's Islamic civilization through an illegal war. An IRGC spokesman stated that while such an attack would be strategically irrational for Washington, the possibility of renewed hostilities cannot be ruled out. Iran has warned of a forceful response to any additional military action and has already increased attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, sinking two UAE tankers. The attacks have escalated as Iran conducts military exercises involving roughly 30 ballistic missile launches.",
  "summary": "According to several regional diplomats, concerns are growing within Iran’s leadership that the current period of relative calm could be short-lived and that hostilities may resume in the future.",
