Iran commander says renewed conflict with US 'likely'

May 2, 2026, 07:30 GMT+1Updated: 12:24 GMT+1

Mohammad Jafar Asadi said renewed conflict between Iran and the United States is likely and that Iran’s armed forces are fully prepared.

“Evidence has shown that the United States does not adhere to any commitments,” said Asadi, deputy inspector at Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters.

He said tensions could escalate regardless of whether Washington takes military action. “A renewed confrontation between Iran and the United States is likely,” he said.

Asadi said Iran was ready to respond to any escalation. “We are fully prepared to confront any hostile action,” he said.
