Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei recently threatened that US warships in the Persian Gulf could be sunk, emphasizing that the US military, despite its might, could face significant consequences. This warning followed US President Trump’s announcement of increased military presence in the region, including the USS Gerald R. Ford. Concurrently, indirect nuclear negotiations between Iran and the US resumed in Geneva, mediated by Oman, amidst ongoing tensions. Khamenei criticized predetermined outcomes in negotiations while military leaders warned of severe repercussions for any conflict.
