On Saturday, US President Donald Trump confirmed the reports, saying an American \u201carmada\u201d is heading towards the Middle East and that Washington is closely monitoring the situation in Iran.<\/p>\n

The US administration says that all options, including military action, remain on the table in dealing with Tehran, as the US and Israel seek to change Iran\u2019s ruling system.<\/p>\n

Iranian officials have warned that any US attack would draw a \u201cswift and comprehensive\u201d response.<\/p>\n

Last June, Israel, with US backing, launched a 12-day war against Iran, prompting retaliatory drone and missile attacks from Tehran before Washington announced a ceasefire.<\/p>\n

Israel and Iran regard each other as their primary adversary and have for years traded accusations over sabotage operations and cyberattacks.<\/p>\n

Israel, the US and other states accuse Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, while Tehran says its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes, including electricity generation.<\/p>\n

Israel is widely believed to be the only country in the region with a nuclear arsenal, though it has never officially acknowledged it and is not subject to inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency.<\/p>\n
