Swapna Kumbar , Bengaluru - Iran's armed forces issued a stark warning that war with the United States and Israel is "likely to resume," accusing Washington of failing to honor ceasefire commitments amid the ongoing Strait of Hormuz tensions. The statement from Tehran underscores deteriorating trust after President Trump's rejection of Iran's Hormuz first peace proposal and claims the administration used the pause merely to regroup militarily.

Iranian military spokespersons charged that the US violated truce terms by maintaining its naval blockade, conducting drone surveillance over Iranian waters, and failing to lift sanctions as promised during Pakistan-mediated talks. They cited Trump's recent order for aides to prepare extended blockade scenarios and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's congressional testimony dodging War Powers authorization as proof of bad faith. Tehran claims the ceasefire technically ending the hot phase after eight weeks of strikes served US interests by depleting Iranian missile stocks while preserving American air superiority. Now, with the 60 day deadline passed via the controversial pause argument, Iran sees renewed aggression looming, particularly after UAE statements questioning Tehran's Hormuz reliability hardened Trump's position.

Iran's resumption warning signals ceasefire fragility as mutual accusations of duplicity poison mediation channels. With Trump framing critics as treasonous and Tehran rejecting further concessions, the Hormuz standoff risks exploding back into open conflict threatening oil markets and regional stability unless last minute diplomacy prevails.
