On Sunday, the US National Security Advisor John Bolton said, the United States is deploying a carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the Middle East to send a clear message to Iran that any attack on US interests or its allies will be met with “unrelenting force”. Let’s briefly discuss US warship & its need.
Amid rising tensions between US and Iran, Bolton said the decision was a response to a number of troubling indications and warnings.
Bolton said in a statement, “The United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime, but we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or regular Iranian forces.”
Washington said in an attempt to reduce Iran’s oil exports to zero, it will stop waivers for countries buying Iranian oil. It has also blacklisted the elite Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran.
In response, Iran said it has mobilised all its resources to sell oil in a “grey market”.
The Trump administration’s efforts to impose political and economic isolation on Tehran began last year. It unilaterally withdrew from the nuclear deal. In 2015, other world powers negotiated with Iran.
Bolton, who has spearheaded an increasingly hawkish US policy on Iran, did not provide any other details.
