The spokesman for the Iranian army, Mohammad Akrami Nia, said today, Sunday, that the United States could launch a new attack on Iran due to what he described as a tense regional situation, adding that Tehran is ready for confrontation and to inflict greater damage on Washington.

In a related context, Iran stated that it is awaiting a decisive American response regarding the 7-day proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, but it will not ease its conditions after U.S. President Donald Trump expressed his rejection of it.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said late yesterday, Saturday, that Tehran is aware of Trump's statements even though it has not received anything from the mediators Qatar and Pakistan.

Araghchi added: "The U.S. president has made some good statements in addition to many contradictory statements, which unfortunately we hear from him often."

He considered that only a "negotiated solution" can resolve the deadlock related to the bottleneck in the global energy sector.
