Tensions between Iran and the United States escalated after a senior Tehran official claimed that Washington now has "only the nuclear option left" if it wants to confront Iran. The remark, made by Tehran's deputy mayor, came amid continuing strain over Iran's nuclear programme and recent regional tensions. The statement reflects increasingly hardline rhetoric from Iranian officials as diplomatic efforts remain uncertain. The United States has repeatedly said it wants to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, while Tehran insists its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes. The latest comments are expected to further complicate already fragile relations. (PC: India Today)
