Speaking to PBS News, Araghchi warned that Iran had no intention of slowing its military response. \u201cThe firings continues, and we are prepared. We are well prepared to continue attacking them with our missiles as long as needed and as long as it takes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also ruled out diplomatic talks with Washington, citing past experiences during earlier negotiations. \u201cI don’t think talking with Americans anymore would be on our agenda,\u201d Araghchi said, adding that Tehran had \u201ca very bitter experience of talking with Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump, however, suggested the conflict might not last long. Speaking at a news conference in Florida, he said: \u201cIt’s going to end soon and if it starts up again, they’ll be hit even harder.\u201d The president had earlier described the campaign as a \u201cshort term excursion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The remarks came as tensions escalated across the Middle East. Iran, now led by newly appointed supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei, launched a new wave of missile and drone attacks targeting Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Israel. Another missile was fired toward Turkey but was intercepted by NATO air defenses before reaching its target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the conflict has rattled global markets and energy supplies. The closure of the strategic Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world\u2019s crude oil passes,  sent oil prices above $100 a barrel before they later dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

French President Emmanuel Macron said France and its allies were considering a \u201cpurely defensive\u201d naval mission to help reopen the waterway once the most intense phase of the fighting subsides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As fighting spreads across several fronts, oil traders, policymakers and governments worldwide are closely watching the region, fearing further disruption to global energy supplies and shipping routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
