The move underscores growing friction between Tehran and Washington amid heightened military activity in the Persian Gulf. Analysts suggest the comments could further destabilize efforts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, as both sides appear locked in a cycle of reciprocal actions. The development raises concerns about broader implications for global energy markets and security in the Middle East.
