Iranian authorities continue to warn of serious ramifications in case of US military strikes, as more people are arrested in connection with the deadly protests amid a lingering internet blackout. Al Jazeera reported.
The arrival of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Middle East “is not going to affect Iran’s determination and seriousness to defend the Iranian nation”, the Foreign Ministry says.
An unnamed senior US official tells reporters during a call that Washington is “open for business” if the Iranians “want to contact us”.
