Iran is warning that it is prepared for a potentially devastating new round of warfare with the United States after high-stakes diplomacy surrounding the United Nations General Assembly ended without a breakthrough.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran is preparing for the possibility that fighting could erupt again, even describing the potential confrontation as a “doomsday war.”
The warning comes after President Donald Trump rejected Iran’s latest proposal for easing tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz, leaving Washington and Tehran far apart despite days of indirect negotiations.
