(AL-JAZEERA) Iran’s military authorities say they are prepared to resume war with the United States if negotiations again fall through, emphasising that they have adapted and recovered.

Washington has signalled that an agreement over the Strait of Hormuz may be imminent, and U.S. President Donald Trump renewed his demand for a deal, or “total surrender” this week.

But the Islamic Republic has said while talks are ongoing with Oman and other mediators to end the U.S-Israel war on Iran, work on boosting military strength has only intensified.
