Iran on Nov. 15 said that it will not remain in a state of “neither war nor peace,” referring to the current standoff between Iran and the United States, as shifting rhetoric from Washington following the U.S. elections leaves the region uncertain about the path ahead.

Speaking during a parliamentary session, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf addressed current developments, according to Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency.

Stressing that Iran continued producing missiles despite wartime conditions, Ghalibaf pointed to the inauguration of a new underground missile city.

“This is not merely an achievement in the technical and defense fields, but also a symbol of a strategic shift in the region. We will not remain in a state of neither war nor peace.”

“But if the United States makes another mistake this time, the geography of the war will be determined by the capabilities and resolve of the Iranian Armed Forces,” he said.

Trump has sent mixed signals about the future of the Iran war following Republicans’ losses in the midterm elections in November, alternately suggesting that further military strikes are unlikely while dismissing the need for a negotiated settlement with Tehran.

Trump said the conflict was effectively over militarily and that the U.S. no longer needed a deal with Iran, but warned that Washington remained ready to strike if necessary.

He also redirected Vice President JD Vance, who had led previous negotiations with Iran, toward the administration’s domestic anti-fraud campaign.
