Tensions between the United States and Iran are escalating once again after former U.S. President Donald Trump declared that Iran’s nuclear program is now “gonzo” following the June airstrikes he ordered on three Iranian nuclear sites. Trump warned that if Tehran attempts to restart its nuclear activities without a deal, the U.S. would “obliterate” any new facility as well. Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei dismissed the likelihood of a new war, calling such speculation “enemy propaganda” and insisting that the real battle is a “propaganda and spiritual war” waged against Iran. With negotiations stalled and both sides trading warnings, fears are growing that the standoff could escalate into a new phase of conflict.
