With negotiations with Iran in tatters, talk of a return to fighting is emerging.

The catalyst for the latest burst of bravado from Iran was Friday’s rejection of Iran’s latest offer by President Donald Trump, according toThe Times of Israel.

“At this moment I’m not satisfied with what they’re offering,” Trump said, citing “tremendous discord” within Iran.

“Do we want to go and just blast the hell out of them and finish them forever — or do we want to try and make a deal?” he said, adding he would “prefer not” to take the former option.

Mohammad Jafar Asadi, a representative of the Iranian military, fired back by saying “a renewed conflict between Iran and the United States is likely,” as reported by Iran’s Fars news agency.

Trump on Iran: “We cannot let lunatics have a nuclear weapon. I would do it again. I thought the numbers would be worse…

They are not coming through with the kind of deal that we have to have. We are going to get this thing done properly; we are not going to leave early.”pic.twitter.com/hSyZmf24m5

“Evidence has shown that the United States is not committed to any promises or agreements,” he said.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi added that “now the ball is in the United States’ court to choose the path of diplomacy or the continuation of a confrontational approach.”
