Tehran / Washington, April 7, 2025:
The world is inching closer to the edge as U.S.–Iran tensions hit a boiling point. President Donald Trump has thrown down the gauntlet, warning Iran to accept a new nuclear deal—or face military strikes.
In response, a senior Iranian official, speaking anonymously to Reuters, made it clear:
“We reject direct talks with the U.S. — and we’re not afraid of bombs.”
Instead, Iran prefers backchannel diplomacy via Oman, a neutral party that has historically bridged messages between the two nations. But the firestorm doesn’t end there.
🇮🇷 Iran’s Open Threat to Muslim Neighbors
Iran has issued a stern warning to neighboring countries such as Oman and Iraq:
“If you support the U.S. in any attack on us, you will be our first targets.”
With U.S. airbases strategically placed across the Gulf, Iran believes these nations could be used as launchpads for American aggression. Tehran has made its strategy clear: first hit America’s regional allies, then strike the U.S. itself.
💣 U.S. Fury Grows After Iran–Israel Proxy Conflict
This latest escalation comes on the heels of deepening tensions between Iran and Israel, fueled by the ongoing Gaza conflict. Trump’s administration has been outraged by Iran’s “Axis of Resistance” and its support for Hamas and Hezbollah during Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.
The U.S. sees Iran’s growing influence in the region as a direct threat, and Trump’s latest ultimatum signals a hard-line shift that could spark a regional war.
