Iranian Official Warns War Will Persist Without U.S. Respect for Its Interests

A senior Iranian official told CNN that the conflict will continue unless the United States respects Iran’s interests. The statement was made in Tehran, where the official emphasized that any further U.S. actions perceived as hostile could prolong hostilities.

The Iranian spokesperson cited the need for the U.S. to acknowledge Iran’s concerns as a prerequisite for de-escalation. He did not specify particular actions or policies, but underscored that continued U.S. pressure would sustain the conflict.

No additional details were provided about specific incidents or diplomatic negotiations, and the official’s remarks were limited to a general warning about the potential for ongoing war.
