Iran's top military commander issues chilling WW3 threat as Trump tensions surge
The most recent round of nuclear negotiations took place in Oman on Feb. 6, over eight months after the Iran-Israel conflict put the diplomacy on hold.
With one American carrier strike group already in the Middle East and another apparently on its way as U.S. President Donald Trump ramps up pressure on Iran to give up its nuclear program, fears are rising of the outbreak of another war that could spread into a regional conflict.
Several “downed Israeli drones” were among the military hardware on show during Iran ’s anniversary celebrations for the Islamic Revolution on Wednesday, according to state media in Iran.

U.S. shoots down Iranian drone that approached USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, military says
U.S. Central Command said the drone "aggressively" approached the USS Abraham Lincoln as it was crossing through the Arabian Sea.
The disclosure by the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the planning, raises the stakes for the diplomacy under way between the United States and Iran. US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will hold negotiations with Iran on Tuesday in Geneva, with representatives from Oman acting as mediators.
Iran’s Islamic Republic, weakened by airstrikes in June and huge popular unrest, warns that it will strike back hard if attacked by the United States. This time, Iran may mean it.

U.S. military steps up planning for extended Iran campaign: report
Officials familiar with the Pentagon's assessments said this would represent a significantly more serious level of engagement than previous confrontations between Washington and Tehran.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has taken the unusual step of tapping military leaders for high-level diplomacy, sending the top U.S. commander in the Middle East to talks over Iran’s nuclear program and positioning the Army secretary as a key negotiator on ending the Russia-Ukraine war.
In one of the largest military deployments to the Persian Gulf in decades, the United States is building up its forces after President Donald Trump threatened strikes on Tehran if it fails to negotiate a nuclear agreement.
American forces shot down an Iranian drone Tuesday as it “aggressively” approached the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea and appeared to have “unclear intent,” according to U.S.
Trump warned it would be a "bad day for Iran" if it fails to make a nuclear deal as he confirmed another aircraft carrier group was heading to the Middle East.
