Iran says it’s ‘prepared for war’ if the US decides to intervene following anti-government protests that have resulted in hundreds of deaths.
The regime continues to blame what it describes as external terrorists for instigating the demonstations, which are the biggest threats to clerical rule since the Islamic Revolution almost 50 years ago.
As the regime continues to block internet access, a US human rights group estimates 645 people have been killed, including 113 members of the security forces.
US President Donald Trump is reportedly considering military intervention, but says diplomacy remains a priority.
