Iran LIVE: Donald Trump Deploys Three Missile-Armed Destroyers as Strike 'Imminent'
The world is on edge as tensions escalate between the United States and Iran. President Donald Trump has sent three missile-armed destroyers to the Middle East, with reports suggesting a strike on Iran is imminent. This comes amidst a brutal crackdown by the Iranian regime, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of protesters. The situation is further complicated by the deployment of at least one missile-launching submarine in the region, according to Pentagon officials.
The British Embassy in Tehran has been temporarily closed, and the UK government has issued a statement, saying, 'We have temporarily closed the British Embassy in Tehran, this will now operate remotely. Foreign Office travel advice has now been updated to reflect this consular change.'
The US has also deployed refueling aircraft from Qatar, and President Trump has stated that the killing in Iran has stopped and there are no plans for executions. However, Iranian state TV has aired a threat to kill Donald Trump, and pro-Iranian regime demonstrators have joined protests against Trump, displaying coffins with his face on them.
The situation is rapidly developing, with the UK and US withdrawing personnel from a Qatar air base and the US potentially preparing for military action within 24 hours. The world watches with bated breath as the situation unfolds, with the possibility of a strike on Iran looming large.
