Iranian officials said the decision to pursue war or diplomacy now rests with U.S. President Donald Trump as the conflict between the two nations reaches its seventh month.
The war, which began seven months ago, has continued without either side indicating a willingness to alter its core demands.
In an interview with Axios, President Trump said he expects diplomatic talks to resume, even though the stalemate persists.
Iranian representatives reiterated that the United States must choose whether to intensify military action or return to negotiations.
Both governments have so far shown no sign of softening their positions, leaving the outlook for renewed talks uncertain.
The situation remains tense, with each side closely monitoring the other's moves as the conflict drags on.
