Iran announced on Wednesday that a return to war with the United States is unlikely as negotiations progress, although President Donald Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Tehran's latest proposal. Trump warned that he might need to 'finish the job' if a better deal is not reached. Despite optimism surrounding a potential agreement that could reopen the Strait of Hormuz, vital for global oil trade, tensions remain high following recent military actions. Iranian Revolutionary Guards official Mohammad Akbarzadeh indicated that the military is prepared for conflict but believes war is unlikely due to US weaknesses. Meanwhile, the US has conducted strikes against Iranian missile sites, further complicating the ceasefire established after fighting paused on April 8.
