Iran warns as US sends ‘armada’ to ME
- Official says Iran is on high alert after US military buildup in ME.
- Even limited or ‘surgical’ strike to trigger full-scale war: Iran.
- Says Iran’s military is prepared for worst-case scenario.
Iran will treat any attack “as an all-out war against us,” a senior Iranian official said on Friday, ahead of the arrival of a US military aircraft carrier strike group and other assets in the Middle East in the coming days.
“This military build-up – we hope it is not intended for real confrontation – but our military is ready for the worst-case scenario. This is why everything is on high alert in Iran,” said the senior Iranian official, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“This time we will treat any attack – limited, unlimited, surgical, kinetic, whatever they call it – as an all-out war against us, and we will respond in the hardest way possible to settle this,” the official said.
US President Donald Trump said on Thursday that the United States had an “armada” heading towards Iran but hoped he would not have to use it, as he renewed warnings to Tehran against killing protesters or restarting its nuclear programme.
“If the Americans violate Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, we will respond,” said the Iranian official. He declined to specify what an Iranian response might look like.
“A country under constant military threat from the United States has no option but to ensure that everything at its disposal can be used to push back and, if possible, restore balance against anyone who dares to attack Iran,” the official said.
The US military has in the past periodically sent increased forces to the Middle East at times of heightened tensions, moves that were often defensive. However, the US military staged a major build-up last year ahead of its June strikes against Iran’s nuclear programme.

British journalist narrowly escapes Israeli missile strike on live camera
A terrifying moment was recently caught on camera as an Israeli missile targeted a British journalist associated with Russia Today (RT) during live reporting in Lebanon.
Steven Sweeney, who works for the Russian state funded broadcaster, was filming destruction of a bridge and talking about missile attacks from Israel when one targeted him and hit just a few feet away.
Sweeney said yesterday that targeting journalists was a war crime and today he himself got injured in an attack. He was treated at a hospital for his injuries.
The video footage of the incident shows the exact moment when the missile hit near the journalist, both cameraman and the reporter sustained injuries.
RT posted a video of journalist Ali Rida, also injured in the attack, reporting from Southern Lebanon. Ali said that Israeli forces DELIBERATELY targeted them.
About three hours after the attack, the outlet shared a video message of Sweeney. He said: “It was a precision strike from an Israeli fighter jet. If they think that they are going to silence us, they are very, very much mistaken.”
Israel has intensified its unprovoked, illegal military strikes on Southern Lebanon and had repeatedly targeted civilian infrastructure.
Sweeney also accused Israel of attempting to ethnically cleanse southern Lebanon.

Princess Kate sends strong message with choice of tiara: ‘Ready to be queen’
Royal women adorn themselves with tiaras – weaving a narrative of tradition, elegance and diplomatic charm – as they welcome dignitaries with poise and sophistication.
Princess Kate’s strategic tiara choices revealed her future ambitions and plans, alonside her grace and elegance.
Royal commentators belive Princess Catherine’s choices prioritise continuity and reinforce her ‘steady and reliable’ image during crucial time for royal family.
Kate Middleton, 44, showed off her elegance she wore her first tiara of the year for the Nigerian state visit on Wednesday, March 18.
The British royals hosted a lavish banquet at Windsor Castle. For the occasion, the princess wore her go-tiara, Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot Tiara.
“Kate’s tiara choices tend to prioritise messages of continuity, usually indicating that she’s taking up the legacy of royal women who came before her,” royal commentator Amanda Matta told Fox News Digital.
The expert went on to describe Princess Catehrine’s dynamic personality after being impressed of her tiara selection, saying: “Her choices remind the public that her royal role, and its symbolism, carry forward from her predecessors.”
Kate’s choice wear Tolu Coker for the lavish dinner explained by the expert, saying: “Coker’s work is rooted in Nigerian diasporic identity, her mother’s migration history, and a pointed critique of Western waste economies. Wearing it for this visit goes well beyond the ‘flag dressing’ we’ve come to expect from Kate’s diplomatic appearances!”
She said that the Queen Mary’s Lover’s Knot is “Kate’s most-reached-for piece these formal occasions,” adding: “It tells us that she understands her role in the institution, respects its weight, and isn’t trying to make it about herself.”
Kate is called a positive force for the royal family. Justine Picardie, author of “Fashioning the Crown,” suggested that Kate’s carefully curated public image reflects her growing role in shaping the future of the monarchy.
She explained, “A historical royal tiara visually puts Catherine in the line of history about what came in the past, but it also represents her future.”
