The Deputy Political Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy of Iran, Mohammad Akbarzadeh, believes that the possibility of a large-scale war with the United States breaking out again is low, following recent negotiations and ceasefire efforts between the two countries.

According to Akbarzadeh, although they do not expect an immediate return to war, their armed forces remain on alert and are prepared to retaliate should any new attacks take place.

Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei also issued a strong statement, insisting that countries in the region will no longer allow themselves to serve as shields for US military bases.

Despite the declaration of a ceasefire, several attacks have still been recorded on both sides.

The exchange of threats between the two parties also continues, with each accusing the other of violating the ceasefire.

It was on April 8 when both sides declared a ceasefire to give way to diplomatic talks through mediators.

Recently, US President Donald Trump himself said that the negotiations are progressing well and that a large portion of the agreement has already been accepted by both countries.

Iranian state media also confirmed that a draft framework has been formed for a possible agreement between Tehran and Washington.

Under the said framework, Iran would agree to restore normal commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz within one month, in exchange for the withdrawal of United States military forces around Iran and the lifting of the naval blockade.

However, Tehran emphasized that it will not implement any steps without concrete verification of the other side's commitments.

Indirect talks between the two countries also continue through the mediation efforts of Pakistan.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the negotiations for an agreement may be concluded within a few days, although he admitted that issues such as Iran's nuclear program and security in the Gulf region remain difficult.
