Le président américain Donald Trump warned that the United States would intensify its strikes against Iran if Tehran refused to acknowledge its "military defeat".
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said the president was prepared to "hit harder than ever" if Iran persisted in its position.
"President Trump is not bluffing," she insisted, referring to a possible major escalation of the ongoing conflict.
Washington believes that Iran has already suffered significant setbacks, but accuses Iranian authorities of refusing to draw the necessary conclusions.
This statement comes amid high tensions in the Middle East, marked by military clashes and still fragile diplomatic efforts.
The White House's comments reflect a maximum pressure strategy aimed at forcing Tehran to negotiate from a position of weakness.
They also raise the threat of an intensification of American military operations in the region.
This verbal escalation underlines the gravity of the situation, as international efforts to achieve a ceasefire struggle to succeed.
It reinforces concerns about an escalation of the conflict, with potentially major consequences for regional stability and the global economy.
