Iran warns war would spread across Gulf, threaten U.S. troops
1 / 4U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo speaks to the media at Joint Base Andrews, MarylandBy Parisa Hafezi and Jeff Mason
"They know precisely where to find us," said Pompeo, who is traveling to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to"ensure we're strategically aligned" with those countries, which are regional rivals of Iran. Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons and refers to a fatwa or religious decree issued in the early 2000s by Iran's top authority Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that bans the development or use of nuclear weapons.
"I reiterated the UK's assessment that Iran almost certainly bears responsibility for recent attacks on tankers in the Gulf of Oman," and called for such activity to stop, Murrison said. Iran has said it would respond firmly to any threat and warned on Sunday of the risks of a military confrontation. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani accused the Americans of stoking tensions in the Gulf through what Iran has called the violation of its airspace by the U.S. military drone, Fars reported.'HUNTING LICENSE'
