Iranian hardliners demand military escalation against US as Tehran tries to reach a settlement with Washington

Tehran, June 5 (UNI) Iranian officials and hardline media have adopted a markedly tougher tone towards Washington following the most serious US-Iran military confrontation in weeks, despite US President Donald Trump insisting that negotiations remain on track and a deal could still be reached.
The latest escalation began early Wednesday when US forces struck a telecommunications tower on Qeshm Island. Tehran responded by announcing attacks on American military facilities in Gulf states such as Kuwait and Bahrain, placing further strain on the fragile 56-day ceasefire that has managed to largely hold despite recurring tensions.
Kuwaiti authorities said an Iranian drone struck Kuwait International Airport, killing one person and injuring dozens. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps denied responsibility for targeting the airport.
