\"Iran\u2019s<\/p>\n

Iran\u2019s army warned Saturday that any new US attack would only spread their war wider, following threats by America and Israel of further military action as they hold crucial elections.<\/p>\n

The Iranian warning comes with fresh diplomatic efforts underway to avert a resumption of fighting, with Qatari mediators in Tehran and US Vice President JD Vance reportedly sending a letter to Iran\u2019s security chief Mohsen Rezaei.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the US president once again embarks on more regional adventurism under pressure from, and in an attempt to appease, the Zionists, the flames of war will undoubtedly engulf a much wider geographical area,\u201d Iranian army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia said in a post on X, without elaborating.<\/p>\n

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also warned on Saturday that \u201cIran\u2019s Powerful Armed Forces will deal against those who dare harm our people\u201d.<\/p>\n

On Friday, a Qatari delegation arrived in the Iranian capital for talks with senior Iranian officials.<\/p>\n

Qatar and Pakistan have been mediating between the warring parties, but the talks have yet to produce a lasting agreement.<\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday that Vance had sent his letter to Iran\u2019s security chief at the direction of President Donald Trump in a bid to revive negotiations and avert further US strikes.<\/p>\n

Iran has confirmed receiving the letter but has not announced any response.<\/p>\n

The US holds midterm elections on Tuesday that could determine the direction of the war, which has proven unpopular with American voters following a spike in energy prices due to the conflict.<\/p>\n

Last Tuesday, Israel also held legislative elections, with voters given a chance to offer a verdict on right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.<\/p>\n

Under Netanyahu, who has vowed to topple Iran\u2019s government, Israel and Iran have engaged in direct military confrontations after decades of shadow war.<\/p>\n

The Middle East war began in late February with US-Israeli strikes on Iran that killed the country\u2019s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei as well as senior military commanders.<\/p>\n

Iran in response targeted US assets across the Middle East as well as Israel.<\/p>\n

Most recently hostilities have focused on the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial Gulf shipping route for energy exports that Iran has blockaded since the start of the war.<\/p>\n

The US has in retaliation been blockading Iranian ports in an attempt to squeeze the nation\u2019s economy.<\/p>\n
