Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader has accused Washington of seeking to \u201cdevour\u201d the country and seize its oil<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>US President Donald Trump has said the world would soon “find out”<\/em> whether Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was correct in warning that an American attack would ignite a regional war, adding that there is still time to make a deal.<\/p>\n In recent weeks, the United States has increased its military presence in the Middle East, deploying the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, additional guided-missile destroyers and advanced air defense systems in what Trump has described as a “massive and beautiful armada.”<\/em><\/p>\n Khamenei warned on Sunday that any military action against Iran would have far-reaching consequences across the Middle East, much bigger than after the US-Israeli attack last summer.<\/p>\n “They should know that if they start a war this time, it will be a regional war,”<\/em> Khamenei said in a speech in Tehran marking the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. He accused Washington of seeking to “devour”<\/em> Iran and seize its oil and natural gas resources.<\/p>\n \n Read more<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Asked by reporters about the warning, Trump dismissed the remarks but left the door open to both diplomacy and force.<\/p>\n “Of course he is going to say that,”<\/em> Trump said. “Hopefully we’ll make a deal. If we don’t make a deal, then we’ll find out whether or not he was right.”<\/em><\/p>\n Tensions have remained high since US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities last June and amid Washington’s promise to punish Iran for its crackdown on violent anti-government protests.<\/p>\n Trump has repeatedly criticized Iranian leaders over the unrest and has suggested that Iran needs “new leadership,”<\/em> while also urging protesters to continue demonstrating and “take over”<\/em> state institutions.<\/p>\n
