A US strike force is still positioned in the Middle East, as a tense standoff between Iran and the United States continues.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, says an attack by Washington would lead to a regional war.
He says Iranians should not be afraid of Donald Trump’s threats.
But diplomatic efforts continue.
Donald Trump says Iran is talking “seriously” with the US about the prospect of landing a deal to avoid military action.
Trump said he hopes they will secure something that is “acceptable” for both countries.
The US president has threatened to take military action against Tehran in response to a deadly crackdown on antigovernment protests.
Yusuf Alabarda is a military analyst, and he explains what options Iran has to respond to attacks and why it’s conducting navy drills right now.
