An Iranian military official says that a renewed conflict with the United States is “likely,” as peace talks remain stalled and US President Donald Trump criticized Iran’s latest proposal in negotiations.

“A renewed conflict between Iran and the United States is likely, and evidence has shown that the United States is not committed to any promises or agreements,” Mohammad Jafar Asadi of the military’s central command centre, Khatam al-Anbiya, is quoted as saying by Iran’s Fars news agency.
