The media reported on Iran's perception of any attack on the country as an all-out war

Iran will consider any attack by countries as a full-scale war against the country. This was reported on January 24 by Sky News channel with reference to a senior Iranian official.

"This time, we will consider any attack <...> as a full—scale war against us, and we will respond in the harshest way," he said.

At the same time, an Iranian representative told the channel that the US military buildup, in his opinion, may not be aimed at a real confrontation. However, the Iranian military is ready for the worst-case scenario, the source stressed.

A special agreement is needed: Iran and the United States are looking for a new deal.

Negotiations between Washington and Tehran are possible, but real steps are still far away.

US President Donald Trump said on January 22 that the United States is closely monitoring the situation in Iran and is sending significant military forces, including ships, to the region. According to him, Washington warned Tehran about a possible US strike if the executions continued in the country, after which the Iranian authorities canceled them.

Prior to that, Trump noted that Iran needs a new government due to recent protests across the country. In his opinion, the authorities of the republic should "properly" govern the country, while the American leader cited himself as an example.
