Iran warns new war with US could last longer after Trump threatens strikes

international relations armed conflict defense & military

President Donald Trump has suggested that the United States may launch fresh military action following the upcoming midterm elections on Tuesday. Trump stated that the U.S. still has one or two targets to take care of in Iran, claiming these strikes could be completed in 10 minutes.

In response, Iran warned that any attack would meet an immediate, impactful, and geographically unrestricted response. Tehran further cautioned that a renewed conflict with the United States could last longer than previous engagements.

These warnings come as President Trump urges Iran to reach a deal. Meanwhile, the IRGC has reported that two tankers caught fire in the Strait of Hormuz after hitting mines. Diplomatic efforts continue in an attempt to avert further escalation.
