Trump Claims Progress in Iran Talks Following USA Naval Buildup

Donald Trump announced that Iran is engaged in serious discussions with the USA to reach a nuclear deal and avoid military strikes following a significant build-up of naval forces in the Persian Gulf.The diplomatic development coincides with a warning from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei that any USA military action would ignite a regional war, even as Iran prepares live-fire drills in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.These tensions follow explosions in Bandar Abbas and Ahvaz that killed at least six people while human rights groups report that the ongoing domestic crackdown has resulted in thousands of deaths.
