Copyright AFP Yu Chen CHENG<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>AFP teams in Tehran, Washington, Beirut and Jerusalem<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A senior Iranian military officer said on Saturday that renewed fighting with the US was \u201clikely\u201d, hours after President Donald Trump said he was not satisfied with an Iranian negotiating proposal.<\/p>\n<p>Iran delivered the new draft to mediator Pakistan on Thursday evening, state media reported, without detailing its contents.<\/p>\n<p>The war, launched by the United States and Israel in late February, has been on hold since April 8, with one failed round of peace talks having taken place in Pakistan since then.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this moment I\u2019m not satisfied with what they\u2019re offering,\u201d Trump told reporters, blaming stalled talks on \u201ctremendous discord\u201d within Iran\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo we want to go and just blast the hell out of them and finish them forever \u2014 or do we want to try and make a deal?\u201d he added, saying he would \u201cprefer not\u201d to take the first option \u201con a human basis\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday morning, Mohammad Jafar Asadi, a senior figure in the Iranian military\u2019s central command, said \u201ca renewed conflict between Iran and the United States is likely\u201d, in quotes published by Iran\u2019s Fars news agency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvidence has shown that the United States is not committed to any promises or agreements,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2018Like pirates\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei said on Friday that his country had \u201cnever shied away from negotiations\u201d, but would not accept an \u201cimposition\u201d of peace terms.<\/p>\n<p>The White House has declined to provide details on the latest Iranian proposal, but news site Axios reported that US envoy Steve Witkoff had submitted amendments to a previous one putting Tehran\u2019s nuclear programme back on the negotiating table.<\/p>\n<p>The changes reportedly include demands that Iran not move enriched uranium from bombed sites or resume activity there during talks.<\/p>\n<p>News of the Iranian proposal briefly pushed oil prices down nearly five percent, though they remain about 50 percent above pre-war levels amid the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has maintained a stranglehold on the strait since the war began, choking off major flows of oil, gas and fertiliser to the world economy, while the United States has imposed a counter-blockade on Iranian ports.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at a rally on Friday, Trump said \u201cwe\u2019re like pirates\u201d as he described an earlier helicopter raid on an oil tanker under the blockade. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite the ceasefire in the Gulf, fighting has continued in Lebanon, where Israel has carried out deadly strikes despite a separate truce with the Iran-backed armed group Hezbollah.<\/p>\n<p>Lebanon\u2019s health ministry said 13 people were killed in strikes in the south, including in the town of Habboush, where the Israeli military had issued an evacuation warning.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Washington announced late Friday it had approved major arms sales to its allies in the Middle East, including a $4 billion Patriot missile deal with Qatar and nearly $1 billion in precision weapons systems to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2018Terminated\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>In Washington, lawmakers were wrestling with a legal dispute over whether Trump had breached a deadline to seek congressional approval for the war.<\/p>\n<p>Administration officials argue that the ceasefire pauses a 60-day limit, after which congressional authorisation would be required \u2014 a claim disputed by opposition Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Trump faces growing domestic pressure, with inflation rising, no clear victory in sight and midterm elections approaching.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere has been no exchange of fire between United States Forces and Iran since April 7, 2026,\u201d Trump said in letters to congressional leaders, adding that the hostilities \u201chave terminated\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>In Iran, the war\u2019s economic toll is deepening.<\/p>\n<p>Washington has imposed new sanctions on three Iranian currency firms and warned others against paying a \u201ctoll\u201d for safe passage through Hormuz, as demanded by Iran.<\/p>\n<p>The US military says its blockade of Iranian ports has stopped $6 billion in Iranian oil exports, while inflation in Iran, already high before the war, has surged past 50 percent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone is trying to endure it, but\u2026 they are falling apart,\u201d 40-year-old Amir, a Tehran resident, told an AFP reporter based outside the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe still have not seen much of the economic effects because everyone had\u00a0a bit of savings. They had some gold and dollars for a rainy day. When they run out, things will change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Iranian authorities executed two men on Saturday convicted of spying for Israel, the judiciary said, the latest in a string of executions in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>One of the men was found guilty of assisting Israel during last June\u2019s 12-day war.<\/p>\n<p>burs-dcp\/smw<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
