Iran warns of wider war if US resumes military strikes
Tehran threatened to expand conflict beyond the region as peace talks stall and President Trump considers resuming strikes. Oil prices eased toward $110.
Iran threatened on Wednesday to expand military conflict beyond the Middle East if the United States resumes its bombing campaign. The warning follows statements from President Donald Trump, who said he nearly restarted strikes earlier this week. Escalating rhetoric could drive energy prices higher as a six-week ceasefire frays.
### Stalled Diplomacy and Hormuz Control Negotiations to end the war have stalled after Tehran submitted a proposal repeating previously rejected demands, including control of the Strait of Hormuz, release of frozen assets, and withdrawal of American troops. The Revolutionary Guards stated on Wednesday that any repeated aggression would trigger a war extending beyond regional borders.
