Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran warns it is ‘on the cusp' of war with America in fiery new sabre-rattling address
2019-05-18
[SUN] The tough-talking firebrand said: "We are on the cusp of a full-scale confrontation with the enemy.

"This moment in history, because the enemy has stepped into the field of confrontation with us with all the possible capacity, is the most decisive moment of the Islamic revolution."

And Iran's defence minister doubled-down on the tough talk by saying his country's military would defeat any US-Israel alliance.

"Iran has the highest level of defence-military preparedness to confront any type of threat and excessive demands," Amir Hatami told the Islamic Republic News Agency.

A senior Iranian official also told Reuters that Tehran was ready for any possible scenario from "confrontation to diplomacy" but the US could not afford another war in the Middle East.

Israel has vowed stand alongside the United States to confront Iran, said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
