US warns Iran of ‘decisive action’ amid military buildup in Mideast
Summary:

US President Donald Trump has warned that Iran would face bombing if it did not agree to a new nuclear deal, prompting a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to moot the pursuit of a bomb in the event of an attack.

Khamenei said on Monday the US would receive a strong blow if Trump followed through with his threats.

Republican lawmakers on Tuesday urged a tougher line on Washington's Mideast adversary Tehran and outlined plans for new legislation targeting the Islamic Republic as tensions have soared in recent days.

The US military has deployed long range bombers at a strategic Indian Ocean airbase, a spokesperson told Iran International last week, a move which presaged major bombing campaigns against Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003.

Revolutionary Guards Aerospace Commander Amirali Hajizadeh has warned US forces in the region, saying, "They are in a glass house and should not throw stones."

Republican lawmakers push for harsher stance on Iran
