“FLAMES OF WAR”
The war began on Feb 28 with US-Israeli strikes on Iran. The Islamic Republic swiftly responded with attacks on American assets in countries around the region.
Fresh diplomatic efforts are underway to avert any resumption of fighting, with Qatari mediators in Tehran, and US Vice President JD Vance reportedly sending a letter to Iran’s security chief Mohsen Rezaei.
On Friday, a Qatari delegation arrived in the Iranian capital for talks with senior Iranian officials.
Qatar and Pakistan have been mediating between the warring parties, but the talks have yet to produce a lasting agreement.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that Vance had sent his letter to Iran’s security chief at the direction of President Donald Trump in a bid to revive negotiations and avert further US strikes.
Earlier on Saturday, Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akaraminia warned that any resumption of hostilities would only expand the scope of the war.
“If the US president once again embarks on more regional adventurism under pressure from, and in an attempt to appease, the Zionists, the flames of war will undoubtedly engulf a much wider geographical area,” he said in a post on X, without elaborating.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Saturday of an “Earth-shattering blow Iran’s Powerful Armed Forces will deal against those who dare harm our people”.
He said there will no longer be any “red lines”.
