Iran Sets Deadline for U.S. Talks, Warns of Military Action

Iran has issued a stern ultimatum to the United States, demanding the fulfillment of preliminary agreement terms within several weeks. A senior Iranian official stated that negotiations have reached a stalemate and warned of potential military action if the U.S. fails to comply. The official indicated that Tehran is preparing for a possible escalation of conflict, not only in the Strait of Hormuz but also across the region.

The Iranian structures must be ready for an escalation of tension in the Strait of Hormuz and in the wider region.

"The Iranian structures must be ready for an escalation of tension in the Strait of Hormuz and in the wider region," the official said. He added that if negotiations collapse, Tehran is prepared to launch a military strike to break any naval blockade. This ultimatum underscores the heightened tensions and Iran's assertive stance in its dealings with the U.S.

If negotiations fail, Tehran is prepared to launch a military strike and thus try to break the naval blockade.

According to the official, mediators are tasked with informing Washington and other regional countries about the deadline set by Iran. This development follows a temporary ceasefire agreement signed in mid-June between the U.S. and Iran. However, reports suggest that Iran's leadership has used this period to prepare for potential conflict, strengthening the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and appointing war veterans to key positions.

Within the short, few-week period set by Iran, the U.S. must fulfill all the provisions of the agreement. This is a prerequisite for further negotiations with the U.S.
