A potential peace deal between US and Iran hinges on the Trump admin agreeing to release USD 24bln in frozen Iranian assets, CNN reports citing a top Iranian official, warning that the US would “enter into a dark corridor” should it resume fighting

Khamenei meeting with Trump will not happen, CNN reports citing sources. Rezaei warned that Iran will “drag the war” beyond the Persian Gulf if the United States resumes the conflict, potentially expanding military operations from the Strait of Hormuz to the Indian Ocean, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. “We will give another dimension to the war by attacking these other American bases that we have been attacking so far.”
