Washington Reaffirms Readiness to Resume Military Operations as US Administration Sticks to Conditions for Tehran Deal

The United States has reaffirmed its full capability to resume military operations against Iran if necessary, while the US administration emphasized that no agreement will be reached with Tehran unless its established conditions are fully met. The US Department of Defense clarified that military forces are fully prepared to resume operations, coinciding with assurances from the US Central Command (CENTCOM) regarding its utmost vigilance and readiness. These developments follow intensive meetings at the White House to discuss the trajectory of indirect negotiations, amid ongoing disputes over core issues including the nuclear program, frozen assets, and maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, security tensions persist between Israel and Lebanon despite de-escalation efforts, with mounting warnings of serious repercussions that could widen the scope of conflict in the region.
