Iran warns of a “regional war” in Mideast if U.S. attacks

Iran’s supreme leader is warning that any U-S attack would trigger a “regional war” across the Middle East.
President Trump has dispatched an aircraft carrier and other warships to the Arabian Sea and has threatened military action against Iran over its bloody crackdown on protesters. The Iranian government is vowing to “defend itself and respond like never before” if the U-S attacks, and warns of a “regional war.” On Sunday, the president was hopeful a deal could be reached with Iran’s supreme leader. But said “if we don’t make a deal, then we’ll find out whether or not he was right.”
