Iran has rejected direct negotiations with the U.S. over its nuclear program and bolstered its military readiness following Trump's 'bombing' threats

A senior adviser to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Iran will “move toward” a nuclear weapon if attacked by the U.S. or Israel, just a day after President Donald Trump threatened to bomb the country.

The Pentagon extended the deployment of the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier strike group and ordered a second flotilla to the Middle East, Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed Tuesday. It also sent additional warplanes to the region, including F-35 fighters and B-2 stealth bombers, according to a U.S. official.

Iran abandons Houthis just as Trump unleashes powerful U.S. airstrikes, leaving the rebels isolated in Yemen. With growing fears of a wider war, Tehran is pulling back its proxies and bracing for a direct hit.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned of a "strong reciprocal blow," if President Donald Trump carries out his threat.
