According to a report in the British Telegraph, a senior Iranian official said military commanders had been instructed to prepare for action against a US base in the Indian Ocean in a bid to deter President Trump from launching an offensive on Iran.

The administration has been pushing for a new agreement to replace or strengthen the 2015 nuclear deal that Trump withdrew from during his first term.

The Iranian regime has threatened to target British forces if attacked. “If your base served the Americans – you will be attacked,” a senior Iranian military official warned. The statement follows President Trump’s warning to Tehran of the consequences of refusing a nuclear deal.

The report in Amwaj.media indicates that the letter was delivered by Anwar Gargash, a senior diplomatic advisor to the United Arab Emirates, with the Gulf state potentially serving as the venue for talks between the two sides.

An Israeli delegation led by Minister Ron Dermer is expected to meet with senior Trump administration officials in Washington in the coming days for a series of strategic discussions centered on confronting Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

Ayatollah regime allegedly paid Israeli tens of thousands of dollars for information on key installations across Israel.
