American military assets – including an aircraft carrier, warplanes, and air-defense systems – are massing in the Middle East after US President Donald Trump promised that “help is on its way” to protesters in Iran.
The military buildup comes as Iran has been shaken by widespread violent protests, triggered by economic hardship, persistent inflation and a sharp dive in the value of the Iranian rial, as well as power shortages. Iranian officials have blamed the unrest on US and Israeli interference and put the death toll at more than 3,000 people, including nearly 700 “terrorists.”
