Iran live updates: Trump says Iran 'informed' the US that it's in a 'state of collapse'

Iran signaled Tuesday that it is not standing down in its dealings with the United States amid the war.

Iran said it does not consider the war over. Despite the ceasefire, Iran said it is actively updating targets, continuing training, and producing and upgrading weapons. "Conditions remain those of wartime," Mohammad Akraminia, Iranian Army spokesman, said on Tuesday.

Akraminia said Iran's response to future attacks from the U.S. would be severe.

"We have many cards we have not yet played. We possess new arenas of war, new tools, and new methods of fighting based on the experiences of the two previous wars. We have many cards we have not yet played. We possess new arenas of war, new tools, and new methods of fighting based on the experiences of the two previous wars. We can certainly respond to the enemy more decisively and more crushingly," he said. "We can certainly respond to the enemy more decisively and more crushingly."

President Donald Trump wrote, without citing evidence, on social media on Tuesday that "Iran has just informed us that they are in a 'State of Collapse.'"

Trump said Iran is asking for the U.S. to lift the naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz "as soon as possible."

Trump added that this alleged request from Iran comes as the nation tries "o figure out their leadership situation," which he said he "believe(s) they will be able to do!"

Trump has repeatedly expressed mixed messages about Iran's leadership, insisting that regime change has occurred, while also claiming that the U.S. does not know who Iran's leaders are.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a post to X on Monday that Iran's oil industry is "creaking" under the pressure of the U.S. naval blockade, predicting that the country's ability to pump oil "will soon collapse."

"While the surviving IRGC Leaders are trapped like drowning rats in a sewage pipe, Iran's creaking oil industry is starting to shut in production thanks to the U.S. BLOCKADE," Bessent wrote.

"Pumping will soon collapse. GASOLINE SHORTAGES IN IRAN NEXT!" he added.

Speaking to a reporter in St. Petersburg during his visit to Russia, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that the U.S. had achieved none of its goals and was therefore asking for negotiations -- a request Araghchi said Iran is "considering."

Regarding bilateral Iranian-Russian relations, Araghchi said the two countries are "strategic partners" and that cooperation between them would continue.
