Iran warns of possible consequences as US warships head to region
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard warns the United States as U.S. warships move toward the Middle East, amid high tension following a deadly crackdown on protests in Iran. Iranian commanders describe the U.S. naval deployment as a threat to regional security, while the Pentagon says its forces operate under international law and aim to deter potential attacks. Human rights groups report heavy casualties from recent demonstrations, and regional governments watch the situation for signs of escalation or maritime incidents in key waterways near Iran.
