Tensions between the United States and Iran have escalated beyond the war of words earlier in May after Washington sent an aircraft carrier and its battle group along with a fleet of bombers to the region, ONA reports citing Sputnik.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has launched a stinging rebuke on US President Donald Trump who said Iran would end if it put up a fight against the United States.
