He had also indicated that Iran would likely be a key subject during their talks.</p> <p data-start="501" data-end="839">The conversation comes amid growing speculation over a possible escalation involving Iran. According to Fox News, regional intelligence assessments suggest renewed military strikes could be considered due to Trump&rsquo;s frustration over Iran&rsquo;s strategy during the Strait of Hormuz crisis and Tehran&rsquo;s refusal to abandon its nuclear ambitions.</p> <h2 data-start="501" data-end="839">'Deception And Delay' Strategy</h2> <p data-start="841" data-end="1034">Two regional intelligence officials told Fox News that Iran is allegedly pursuing a &ldquo;deception and delay&rdquo; strategy in an attempt to complicate any potential return to military action by the US.</p> <p data-start="1036" data-end="1351">&ldquo;The prevailing assessment inside Iran is that President Trump may resort to restarting military action,&rdquo; the officials reportedly said, adding that Tehran believes extending the crisis for at least two more weeks could make any renewed military campaign politically and operationally more difficult for Washington.</p> <h2 data-start="1036" data-end="1351">Iran Reviewing Global Events</h2> <p data-start="1353" data-end="1550">The report also claimed Iranian officials are viewing upcoming global events, including the FIFA World Cup and America&rsquo;s 250th anniversary celebrations, as factors that may work in Tehran&rsquo;s favour.</p> <p data-start="1658" data-end="1994" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Meanwhile, the impact of the US-led blockade on Iran is reportedly becoming more visible on the ground. A senior Israeli official said early signs of a fuel crisis have started emerging inside Iran, with long queues being reported at petrol stations alongside growing public frustration over fuel shortages and distribution disruptions.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div>
