In a sharp escalation of rhetoric, former President Donald Trump has warned that he may resume airstrikes against Iran, rejecting Tehran's recent proposal for negotiations. The threat comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with Trump accusing Iran of stalling tactics and insisting on a tougher stance.
Trump's statement, made during a public appearance, signals a potential return to the maximum pressure campaign that characterized his administration's approach to Iran. The rejection of Iran's proposal casts doubt on the prospects for diplomatic resolution, raising concerns about further instability in the region.
Analysts warn that renewed airstrikes could disrupt global oil supplies, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz, and drive up international oil prices. The situation remains fluid, with both sides signaling readiness for confrontation.
