Iran live updates: Tehran warns of 'dire consequences' of any renewed US attacks

Iranian officials urged the U.S. to agree to Tehran's peace talks demands.

Talks between the U.S. and Iran remain stalled despite the two countries signing a memorandum of understanding in June, aimed at ending the war that began with joint American-Israeli strikes on the country in February. The opening strikes killed a host of top Iranian officials and commanders, among them Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The two sides have continued to exchange strikes, though have not returned to the intense fighting seen in the early stages of the conflict. The U.S. says it is enforcing a naval blockade of the country's Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman ports, while Iran claims control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz and continues to claim attacks on shipping transiting the waterway.

Meanwhile, intensified fighting between Saudi-backed Yemeni forces and Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen has seen the latter repeatedly attack Saudi military, oil infrastructure and transport facilities.

Araghchi says Americans are tired of 'Forever Wars,' frustrated with Israel

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post to X on Monday that American voters and the Middle East have "had enough" of "Forever Wars."

Posting a clip of President Donald Trump's interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes" program that aired on Sunday, Araghchi suggested Trump "clearly recognizes that the vast majority of Americans are disgusted with Israel. Strikingly, he seems confused about why that's the case."

"Americans are evidently sick and tired of Israel bamboozling US administrations into Forever Wars. They had enough. So has our region," the foreign minister wrote.

On Sunday, Araghchi posted to X urging the U.S. to agree to Iranian demands, citing the midterm elections results as proof of American war weariness.

"American voters have made their choice. Time for the White House to make its own," he wrote. "Our 2-day proposal stands: meet the requirements, including end to war on all fronts, and you will see results."

"Or choose war, and see our alert and battle-hardened Warriors rain down hell," Araghchi added.

Trump says the US has not lost any soldiers in Iran war 'in months'

President Donald Trump spoke to reporters about the war with Iran on Sunday, asserting that the U.S. had not lost any soldiers in the war with Iran in months, as he continued to defend the war itself.

So far, the U.S. has lost 18 service members in the war while hundreds more have been wounded.

“On the Iran thing, we haven't had anybody killed in seven, six months. It's [a] different war,” Trump said.

"Again, we haven't lost anybody. No soldier has been lost. If you look at Vietnam and if you look at all these others, there were for many years with thousands, tens of thousands of people killed,” he said.
