Iran has issued a stark warning that it will treat any attack “as an all-out war against us,” amid the arrival of a US aircraft carrier strike group and other military assets in the Middle East in the coming days.
“This military buildup we hope it is not intended for real confrontation – but our military is ready for the worst-case scenario. This is why everything is on high alert in Iran,” a senior Iranian official said on condition of anonymity, as cited by the Times of Israel.
