Iran has issued a strong warning to the United States after President Donald Trump threatened to send Tehran "back to the Stone Age." IRGC spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaghari said the war will continue until the US faces "lasting humiliation," warning that stronger, wider, and more destructive attacks could follow. Iran rejected claims that its missile production sites were destroyed, insisting strategic facilities remain intact.

Iran has rejected Pakistan’s claim that Islamabad is hosting or facilitating direct talks between the United States and Tehran. The Iranian Consulate in Mumbai stated clearly that there have been no direct negotiations with Washington and only excessive demands passed through intermediaries. Pakistan had earlier announced that it was ready to host US-Iran peace talks after high-level meetings in Islamabad with Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey. Islamabad also claimed both sides were confident in Pakistan’s mediation role.
