In a stark escalation of tensions between the US and Iran, Tehran has issued a dire warning to Washington, vowing to unleash "destructive" attacks on American interests in response to former President Donald Trump's recent declaration of the 2020 conflict as an "overwhelming victory." The provocative statement comes as relations between the two nations remain strained, with many in Iran still seething over the US drone strike that killed top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in January 2020. Trump's comments, made during a recent interview, have been met with outrage by Iranian officials, who view them as an affront to their nation's sovereignty and a brazen attempt to rewrite history. As the US and Iran continue to engage in a war of words, the threat of renewed violence hangs ominously in the air.
