US EditionIran will treat any attack as 'all-out war against us,' says senior Iran official
Iran is on high alert and will respond with maximum force to any US attack amid the imminent arrival of a US carrier strike group, adding about 5,700 troops.
- On Friday, a senior Iranian official warned Iran will treat any U.S. attack as full-scale war and said Iran's armed forces are on high alert ahead of a U.S. aircraft carrier strike group arrival.
- Past U.S. actions show the Pentagon ordered the USS Abraham Lincoln and three destroyers westward earlier this week, joining last year's buildup near U.S. Central Command's Al Udeid base.
- Officials said the carrier strike group would add roughly 5,700 additional service members to join three littoral combat ships in Bahrain and two destroyers in the Persian Gulf.
- Iran said it will respond if Americans violate its sovereignty, Mohammad Movahedi denied halted executions of 800 detained protesters, and global leaders and analysts warn the standoff risks miscalculation.
- Analysts said the U.S. military buildup could give President Donald Trump the option to strike, though he has not acted, and past U.S. buildups preceded last year’s June strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.
