Prominent reformist lawmaker in Tehran says Iran won't enter war with US, either directly or through proxy forces.

In this Monday, May 20, 2019 photo, released by U.S. Navy, an F/A-18E Super Hornet from the "Jolly Rogers" of Strike Fighter Squadron 103 launches from the flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln on Arabian Sea.

Since that development, Iran has announced it will back away from the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers, an accord that President Donald Trump pulled America out of a year ago. The United Arab Emirates, meanwhile, alleged that four oil tankers were sabotaged off its coast, and Iranian-allied rebels in Yemen have launched drone attacks into Saudi Arabia.

Since Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, Tehran has worked to leverage relationships with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, Hamas in the Gaza Strip and others to counter what it perceives as the threat from America’s vast military presence across the Mideast. Analysts believe that if attacked, Iran could rely on those militant groups to target American troops, Israel and other U.S. allies in the region.

Iran's top diplomat presses efforts to save nuclear dealTEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's foreign minister traveled Friday to China on his Asian tour aimed at keeping world markets open to Tehran amid an intense sanctions campaign from the U.S. as tensions... The nuke deal was always about the U.S. and EU nations shoveling money into Iran to rent Iran's restraint, for 10 years only, in developing deliverable nuclear weapons. Iran, for it's part, is trying to get the money for as long as they don't actually have the deliverable nuke. Trump cannot have my children for his fake war effort with Iran. We see what he is doing, he cannot distract us from his conspiracy with Russia.

Intelligence Suggests U.S., Iran Misread Each Other, Stoking TensionsIntelligence collected by the U.S. government shows Iran’s leaders believe the U.S. planned to attack them, prompting preparation by Tehran for possible counterstrikes, according to one interpretation of the information, people familiar with the matter said. Best way of defence is defence. It is amazing how the west always ascribes a benign reason for Iran's actions or non actions. So we are to believe what IRAN believes? I don’t think so
