Iran’s army warns it will “open new fronts” against the United States if it resumes attacks, after US President Donald Trump said he had held off launching a new offensive in hopes of striking a deal.
“If the enemy is foolish enough to fall into the Zionist trap again and launches new aggression against our beloved Iran, we will open new fronts against it, with new equipment and new methods,” says army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia, according to Iran’s ISNA news agency.
