Iran Declares Full-Scale War with US Amid Mediated Truce Efforts and US Military Buildup
Summary
Iran has escalated rhetoric by declaring a 'full-scale war' with the United States, coinciding with reports of mediators proposing a 10-day truce. Concurrently, the US is reportedly moving military equipment to the region in preparation for potential wider conflict, while Israeli security mechanisms are activated.
