Trump said on Friday that he was "not satisfied" with Iran's latest proposal, without detailing which elements he opposes, while the White House refused to comment on the state of the negotiations.

A senior Iranian official said that fighting with the US was “likely” to resume after US President Donald Trump said he was dissatisfied with Tehran’s new proposal, Iranian media reported on Saturday.

Iran’s Fars cited Mohammad Jafar Asadi, a senior figure in the Iranian military’s central command, as saying that “a renewed conflict between Iran and the United States is likely.”
