Tensions Build with Iran as the US Conduct Military Exercises

US forces will conduct a multi-day air exercise in the Middle East as Washington boosts its military presence in the region amid tensions with Iran.

The announcement comes after President Donald Trump warned that an “armada” is heading toward Iran and threatened possible military action against the regime.

Tensions between the US and Iran have been inflamed in recent weeks over the regime’s bloody crushing of dissent. More than 5,800 protesters have been killed since demonstrations began late last month, according to a Tuesday report by the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency
