The Iranian forces warned of an American plan to resume the war and launch attacks on Iranian territory.

The unified combat command of the Iranian armed forces stated in a statement today, Sunday, that "Tehran has received information indicating that the United States is preparing to resume combat operations."

It also added, warning that "any American attack will be followed by continuous strikes on American bases and interests."

This warning came after Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf confirmed earlier today that his country conveyed its conditions to the American side for reopening the Strait of Hormuz through intermediaries. The chief Iranian negotiator said, "Unless these conditions are met, the legitimate rights of the Iranian people are recognized, and American commitments are implemented, there will be no window to return to the previous negotiation conditions or to reopen the Strait of Hormuz," according to the IRNA news agency.

He added, "The messages have been conveyed and our conditions have been clearly explained to the other party through intermediaries."

Prior to that, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Mohsen Rezaei, confirmed that there would be no return to negotiations unless Iran's seven conditions were implemented.

Since the start of the American-Israeli war on Iran on February 28, the Iranian threats to commercial ships have significantly paralyzed navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas exports passed before the war.

In contrast, the United States has imposed and continues to impose a tight blockade on Iranian ports, in addition to a new package of sanctions.

Simultaneously, both Pakistan and Qatar, as well as Turkey, continued their efforts to reduce tensions and urge both sides to return to negotiations.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry announced that the Pakistani Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, whose government has been mediating for months to end the war, will visit Tehran today for talks.
