A senior Iranian government official has issued a dire warning that a new war between Iran and the West is "likely" to erupt, following a provocative statement from former US President Donald Trump. Trump sparked outrage by suggesting that the US might be "better off" without the 2015 nuclear deal, which he unilaterally withdrew from in 2018. The Iranian official's warning comes as tensions between the US and Iran continue to simmer, with both sides engaged in a game of diplomatic cat and mouse. The fate of the nuclear deal, which was meant to limit Iran's nuclear program in exchange for relief from economic sanctions, hangs in the balance as the US and Iran engage in a high-stakes showdown over its future.
