  "summary": "Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia stated that a potential future war with the United States could last longer than previous conflicts, noting that the American president would not be able to dictate the timing or conditions of its conclusion, according to IOL and Dawn. These remarks followed comments from President Donald Trump, who told reporters at his Florida residence that the U.S. could swiftly strike one or two remaining sites in Iran, such as a suspected underground nuclear complex at Pickaxe Mountain, in as little as 10 minutes.\n\nDiplomatic efforts to end the Middle East war have faced uncertainty amidst repeated threats from the U.S. and Israel to resume bombardments during crucial elections, according to IOL and Dawn. The most intense phase of the war began on February 28 with US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which led to retaliatory missile and drone attacks from Tehran and involvement from armed groups in Lebanon and Yemen.\n\nMeanwhile, Iranian officials have entered a third day of Qatari-mediated talks in Doha. The State Department has indicated that the window for negotiation has been extended, according to The Times of Israel.",
