Iran’s supreme leader threatens to sink US warships amid nuclear talks

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatened on Tuesday to sink U.S. warships as nuclear talks continued. According to Associated Press his comments came during a speech broadcasted by Iranian state media. “A warship is a dangerous device, but more dangerous than that is a weapon that can send that warship deep under the sea,” he said, amid cheers from the crowd. Iranian media announced that Iran had fired live missiles towards the Strait of Hormuz. Iran had announced a maritime military exercise on Monday in waterways that are crucial international trade routes through which 20% of the world’s oil passes. The semi-official Tasnim news agency, which is close to the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, said missiles launched inside Iran and along its coast had struck their targets in the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the U.S. and Iran are holding their second round of talks about Iran’s nuclear program Tuesday in Geneva as the United States ramps up its military presence in the Middle East. Iranian state TV reported Tuesday that the negotiations with the U.S. will be indirect and will focus only on Iran’s nuclear program, not domestic policies including its bloody crackdown on protesters last month. http://youtube.com/kanal13az/join – click here and support Kanal13 monthly for distributing more videos and independent journalism
