Iran has warned the United States about regional conflict, as president Donald Trump has ordered his forces to build up near the country.<\/p>\n
The supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has said that \u201cthe Americans should know that if they start a war, this time it will be a regional war\u201d, as quoted by the semi-official Tasnim news agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump regularly says that he brought ships\u2026 The Iranian nation shall not be scared by these things\u201d, Khamenei said.<\/p>\n
The US has sent its aircraft carrier the USS Abraham Lincoln to the region as part of its build up of forces.<\/p>\n
While last week, US Central Command said it was operating in the Arabian Sea.<\/p>\n
Trump has warned that the US might intervene in Iran over its nuclear ambitions, and following its crackdown on anti-government protests, where thousands are reported to have been killed.<\/p>\n
At least 6,373 people have been killed so far in the demonstrations, according to activists, while the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency said that is investigating another 17,000 reported deaths.<\/p>\n
Trump on Thursday said that he told Iran that it had to do two things to avoid US military action: \u201cNumber one, no nuclear. And number two, stop killing protesters.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Khamenei on Sunday accused protesters of attacking police, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and other facilities including banks and mosques.<\/p>\n
Last week, Iran\u2019s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, warned that Tehran\u2019s armed forces were ready \u201cwith their fingers on the trigger\u201d to \u201cimmediately and powerfully respond\u201d to any aggression, following Trump\u2019s comments that a \u201cmassive armada\u201d was heading to Iran.<\/p>\n
Trump said his next attack will make last June\u2019s bombing raid on Iranian nuclear sites \u201clook like peanuts\u201d, as he spoke aboard Air Force One.<\/p>\n
The US president last month was threatened on Iranian state TV, with a direct warning that \u201cthis time, [the bullet] won\u2019t miss\u201d, referring to Trump\u2019s 2024 assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Since the US drone strike of January 2020 that killed General Qassem Soleimani on Trump\u2019s orders, Iranian officials and state media have repeatedly issued threats toward the American president.<\/p>\n
