"From enriched uranium and ballistic missiles to sanctions and regional influence, the US and Iran have very different demands. The United States and Iran are engaged in increasingly hostile rhetoric as US warships move into the Arabian Sea, despite regional nations seeking a diplomatic solution to prevent a military flare-up. US President Donald Trump warned this week that time is running out for Iran to return to talks to reach a new deal on its nuclear programme."
"Trump said the naval forces he was sending to Iran's neighbourhood were even greater than those that he deployed to the coast of Venezuela before US special forces abducted the South American country's president, Nicolas Maduro, in a military assault on Caracas on January 3. (Al Jazeera) Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi hit back at Trump's threats, warning that his nation's military was ready with their fingers on the trigger. He added that they would immediately and powerfully respond to any new US attack."
US warships have moved into the Arabian Sea as tensions with Iran escalate amid hostile rhetoric. President Donald Trump warned that time is running out for Iran to return to talks on its nuclear programme and said he was sending naval forces larger than those previously deployed near Venezuela. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that Iran’s military is ready and would respond immediately and powerfully to any new US attack. The escalation follows US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities during Tehran’s war with Israel and Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Al Udeid Air Base and Israeli cities. Core disputes include enriched uranium, ballistic missiles, sanctions and regional influence.
