Are hostilities really over? Despite Trumps claims, an Iranian military official deems a resumption of conflict with the United States likely

Iranian military official has stated that a reignition of conflict with the U.S. is probable, as Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Iran’s new offer to restart peace talks. The U.S. President declared that hostilities against Iran were over, complying with the law requiring congressional approval for conflicts lasting over 60 days. Iran remains prepared for any American “adventurism” or “reckless action.”

The USS Gerald Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier, has left the Middle East, while 20 U.S. Navy vessels, including two other aircraft carriers, remain deployed.

A ceasefire has been in effect since April 8, following nearly 40 days of Israeli-American strikes on Iran and Tehran’s retaliations in the region. Talks in Islamabad on April 11 were unsuccessful due to strong disagreements on issues from the Strait of Hormuz to the nuclear aspect.

Iran sent a new text via Pakistan as a mediator, but details remain undisclosed. Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Iran’s leaders’ inability to agree on a conflict resolution strategy. While preferring not to “obliterate” Iran, Trump stated that resuming war remained an option, being briefed on potential military actions.

The war has caused thousands of deaths, mainly in Iran and Lebanon, continuing to impact the global economy with oil prices reaching unprecedented levels. While the bombings have ceased, conflict persists through other means, like Washington’s blockade of Iranian ports in response to Tehran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz, which previously carried a fifth of the world’s oil supply.
