Iranian threat escalates as US carrier heads toward Middle East

Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned in a Wall Street Journal op-ed that Tehran will 'fire back with everything we have' if attacked again, as a U.S. carrier strike group moves toward the Middle East amid Tehran's crackdown on protests that have killed at least 4,560 people. Iran also claimed a drone/missile strike on a Kurdish base in Iraq, while U.S. forces bolster regional readiness with aircraft and missiles, signaling a potential broader confrontation in the region.
